We’re always fascinated by the interactions between our senior cat and 12-month old pup as they navigate their feelings about each other.’s presence. The dog would love to snuggle, but the cat is definitely in charge of what’s going to happen.
This morning we saw them once again attempt to share the couch at the same time. The dog’s chew toy lets her expel her nervous energy. Eventually, the dog jumped down and the cat sprawled out for a nap.
Spring #migration 2023 is gearing up with exciting signs of change in this northeastern US backyard. These are the few weeks where “worlds collide” and the early spring birds return before the dark juncos and white throated sparrows take off. Despite low migration activity, I’ve spotted chipping sparrows, an eastern phoebe, and just now a purple finch.
Attaching a 33 second video clip of my bird feeder with house finches, chickadees and the purple finch, plus a red winged blackbird.
We just learned a great new term from this article: "entoscaping" = landscaping with the needs of insects in mind.

Humanity will never again get back the time spent on reading posts entirely made up by language models, much of it with fabulated content that is just not based in any fact or reason.
Time spent consuming concocted content will amount to hundreds of thousands of centuries of human time in the next few years. And we will continue to use huge amounts of energy to produce enormous amounts of incomprehension to keep us occupied.
We don’t have to wait for technological singularity to morph our reality. We just need enough futile content to dilute all knowledge and decision-making ability.

My hobbies are birds and photography, so this quilt is an appropriate toot for me.
I may count this as part of my self-imposed bird photo quota.
This is another of my wife's quilts. I personally like it better than the first that I posted today. I can tell this was harder to do, plus it has a bird; finally, it has a lot of blue which is my favorite color.
