Good morning everyone, it's already Thursday! This week has moved right along but not sure I have a whole lot to show for it. I'm trying to put my smashed greenhouse back together as a cold frame perhaps. I'm having to straighten aluminum pieces bent by the fallen tree.

Good morning everyone, it's Wednesday. Hard to believe it's mid-week but I'm ready for the election to be here so I'm way over my skis! It's a weird feeling now--seems like we are sort of stuck in neutral. The last few weeks felt like momentum was building but this week seems "on hold".

I had a beautiful female Hooded Oriole at my hummingbird feeder yesterday afternoon She's been very elusive but I've seen her flash by several times this summer. Finally got to see her. I refilled the feeder & left one portal open. Hope she can get nectar now-same with Verdins. (Cornell Labs pic)
