Another cool sky from my balcony tonight. I’d have a beer while I enjoy it, but Octoberfest is happening tomorrow, and I best save myself for that… 🍺🇩🇪

Even brighter red-orange sundet behind clouds, the sky golden behind it

Black and white Tuxedo Cat with its pink tongues sticking out (just a little). A man, my husband, sits behind him. Cat does not care.

I’ll join in another #BirdOfTheDay as today’s theme is #BirdsWithBerries and I have a few of those: 🪶

A rose-ringed parakeet (possibly an escapee) hangs upside down as it checks out some choke cherries

A blue jay’s head pokes out from behind a cluster of juniper berries.

It’s late winter so this American robin with a juniper berry in its beak is looking quite plump with its extra-insulating plumage

I love people who get really emotional about good books/music/shows/movies. Keep feeling things and don't let the world numb you. ❤️

A blimp over my balcony yesterday. A helicopter today. What’s coming tomorrow? A 747? 😳

It’s not caturday, but my mom’s cat is giving me the stare anyway. I’m pretty sure it says, “Treats, woman. Now.”

When I was a kid, the mnemonic we used to remember the names of the Great Lakes was H.O.M.E.S. If the incompetent bedwetter 3-year old gets his way, we can use S.H.A.M.E.

Uh oh, looks like there's a murder next door. 🪶🐦‍⬛

A group of crows (aka a murder of crows) gathers on my neighbor’s rooftop and (not shown) in all the surrounding trees. For the record, these are fish crows. I can tell because the noise is giving me a haddock.

Another unflattering picture of my mom’s cat. She looks drunk lol. Then again, it IS #caturday. But don’t even think about taking her Amazon bag from her.

It looked like we packed a body earlier this week for our son’s move from Georgia, but it was just his giant anime plushie. Promise.

Fun: Oldest son is moving back near us to pursue a new career path. (Yay! One of my kids near me again!) 👏 Not so fun: Flew to Atlanta this morning to help him pack his old place up. 📦 🥵 I have helped so many people move in the last few years, I might as well become a professional. 🚚

Night of the Living Birds 🪶

A female (maybe juvenile?) grackle is perched on a branch with its beak open. The angle makes an odd reflection in its eyes giving it a zombie appearance
