Buying a birdcam might be the best investment, monetarily, I have made in my own mental health since Honey died 💜

I turned notifications off for my birdcam, as it is generally most busy when I am trying to be productive at work. Just reviewed a week's worth of visitors. Damn I love this thing, and these birdies 💜

Lots of chickadee traffic this morning. And I can hear the robins in the tree. They don't seem to have found their way to the free buffet yet though.

This is the ridiculous lobster I bought at the airport on our way home. (I am allergic to real lobster, by the way.)

First thing we'd climb a tree
And maybe then we'd talk
Or sit silently
And listen to our thoughts
With illusions of someday
Cast in a golden light
No dress rehearsal
This is our life
And maybe then we'd talk
Or sit silently
And listen to our thoughts
With illusions of someday
Cast in a golden light
No dress rehearsal
This is our life

Daisy is sitting out on the front porch with me, and a giant dog and his human just walked by. She barely reacted, which is amazing. Then two little kids went by on the other side of the street and she almost lost her mind. Back to just chilling out now.

Well, the little rose bush Honey bought for me last summer seems to have survived the winter, and chose today to push out my first blooms of the year. #BloomScrolling

We don't have many turtles where I live. Probably almost zero. Or absolute zero... But this crow has become my new buddy this spring - spends lots of time with me in my back yard.

Red isn't usually my colour, but I thought I would do something drastically out of character...

My Daisy was 8 when we brought her home. I lobbied for her adoption, but in typical cat fashion, I became a spare human. Total daddy's girl. (He died very suddenly in March. We both miss him a lot 💔)

Yesterday I threw a party for my recently deceased partner in life and partner in crime. He was famous for his vast collection of sarcastic, funny, political t-shirts. This is how we decorated the hall.

Veggie mix sitting in olive oil and garlic, waiting to get roasted up for mother's day dinner tomorrow. Pretty pleased with how the colours came together!

I was over on FB, opining about what to do with the new notebook that was given to me by a very dear friend. I always have a hard time writing in a new notebook, because I don't want to mess it up.
This is maybe the best reply ever! 💜

Please wear my thoughts on FB this morning... (Honey had a huge collection of smart ass t-shirts, but he used to give me smart ass socks for no particular reason, several times a year.)
