Man there are a lot of zerks on a 527B ripper. Grill warming up, time to take advantage of this nice weather to grill again.

A month or two ago we thought we would enjoy having a bird feeder. We have but apparently we are the best freaking buffet in the area as it gets emptied in a matter of a couple of days now.

Everyone's fueling up for the long trip south.

Noticed robins were back around in bunches last week and some others that only seem to be around in the spring.

Robins flock up in the fall but not all of them go south. There are big groups here all winter. You just don't see the single or two in your yard.

Interesting...I've never seen a Robin in the winter. I'll keep an eye out this year.

I've seen a blue heron on trout streams the last few winters though which I thought was interesting. I suppose if there's enough open water they stick around.

Box is right, there are robins that over winter in the twin cities. A lady who does some investments for me lives in the TCs and her name is robin.

I'm sorry. My prayers are with the child.

Do you know what type of leukemia?


Came back as ALL - best possible outcome for an awful situation. Hoping to go home next week and then looking at up to two years of 1x month chemo treatments. And that's apparently the "easier" treatment path. But still, thankful that it sounds like they have a plan that involves them mostly getting to be at home and a highly effective treatment plan.

we put in a feeder early summer and then moved it just a little ways away in like September cause all the little corn growing in the flower bed was annoying. Haven't filled it since. Not sure what the difference is. It's further from the house now and easily within view of the prior spot.
