These robins were pretty mean to each other as they fought to take a bath in the same tiny pool

Two puffed up robins were facing each other in a puddle of water

Another gorgeous sunrise on my way to find some birds.

(Well, there were very few birds.)

Time to rewarch all of these before the world explodes. 🌎

I watched a lot of robins fight today. They're totally mean to each other!

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I cannot stress this strongly enough: Support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. They need us, and more importantly, we need them.

Sorry it's been rough!!! The hot water bottle did evoke fond memories from childhood when I had to help prepare said bottles for my grandmother.
