The hot chocolate was very chocolaty. It is very pricey, as well.

I have to say that the Boston people are very friendly. And we got the blue (X2), red, green and beige hats at the Sox game.

Thanks and I may return at Xmas. My daughter doesn’t want to cross the border for now. So, that will probably necessitate a few more trips to NY. And then of course, down here.

This is the first year I have had Bluebirds! I love them. They are here every day!
These large woodpeckers mate for life. I have a pair in the yard. They like suet.
They are very noisy.

I have not gotten old enough to enjoy birding or classical music, my father in law warned me once that my time will come eventually..
I have always loved Classical music ...Mom was a musician.
My parents always watched the birds. I kid myself that I spend too much $ for my 6 feeders and have a bird bath so my cats can watch. ....I am turning into my parents

All I know about birding comes from filling out the compendium in Red Dead Redemption 2.

My father, the hockey playing construction worker, was also a birder. He went to college for hockey and forestry. I kid you not. He had an eight foot high aviary, full of finches etc, and a couple of parrots. It was weird, he was like Saint Francis in that he could wrangle and talk to birds.
I do like to try identify birds, but that is all that rubbed off.

I have always enjoyed birds, we have had all types of feeders for years. I think being retired just gives people more time to go deeper into it as a hobby. The Merlin app makes me very happy, I must admit! I love walking the trails during the week, while the office people are busy at work...lol They are too loud and scare away the wildlife. Get off my trail!
My favourite pic of me feeding a Downy Woodpecker at our local trail. The Chickadees and Nuthatches also come to feed from my hand...chipmunks too.

That's funny. I was in Toronto last week for work, and rented a bike and biked out to the Toronto Harbor lighthouse. It was a beautiful ride towards the end, all of the grounds were natural and there were a bunch of bird watchers out and about.
Which made me wonder whether I'd get to the point in life where I take a walk for the primary purpose of watching birds.
Which then make me wonder whether the birds were out to go people watching. . . .
Birds are pretty cool
When i was a kid my Dad played that music in the garage where he always wanted me to help him...station used the name *Quiet Island*
I would tell him if he wanted me to help he had to turn off that "music to die by" as I called it

I was never into birds but I've wanted one of those bird feeder cameras ever since I moved into this house.
I also enjoy sitting and watching the deer in the yard.
I may only be 54 but I've got the whole old person mentality down pat.

Stopped at Bojangles to get a chicken biscuit after dropping Hattie off at the groomer. Pull up to the drive thru, and I get a robot voice over the speaker that processed the whole thing.
Creepy. Hated it. Give me human interaction, and this is coming from the queen of introverts. At least an actual human handed me my food.

Happened to me at Wendy’s last week. Was dying for a Frosty. Ordered from a robot.
Two inches of standing water in 50sq ft area of the basement. Naturally, on the finished side.
We have solved the problem, for now, so now the cleanup and monitoring begins

Eh. It happens i guess. I’m shocked at how much ground water is rushing through. It’s being dealt with now at least. Looked like class V rapids for a while lol
