I actually saw that movie in the theater. I was probably 15.

#birds #nature #wildlife #cardinal Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdSupermodel, any bird captured looking as if it's posing for a magazine cover shoot. It looks like this female Northern Cardinal understood the assignment. 🤩

#butterflies #insects #nature #wildlife Last week there were several of these Orange Sulphur butterflies dashing around a patch of native wildflowers here in central Illinois. The yellow-orange tinted wings and purple asters with orange centers makes an unusual but appealing palette. 🙂

We dropped our mail-ins directly in the box at the Election Commission. Having been an election judge/pollworker in Peoria for a decade, my qualified advice is to do it that way if possible. Get the mail-in ballot, mark it, sign it, and take it to an official drop box instead of mailing.

#birds #nature #wildlife #eagle Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BlueSkies, any bird against a blue sky. Way over there, yeah that little thing flying out there, that's a Bald Eagle. Yeah, it is. But you wanted blue sky? I got more blue sky than anyone. 😉

I got the 3rd and final batch of applesauce cooked and canned, 7 more pints today. So with 21 pints that means we can open a jar every 17.4 days from now until apple season in October next year! 😋

Too nice a day to stay inside all day. So I think I'll stay inside all day... and finish my applesauce project. One more round of about 6 pints to go. Don't really like the task, but I love being done with it. 😛

#birds #nature #wildlife #vulture Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying, birds with their wings open when not flying. On cooler mornings Turkey Vultures will often perch on a high place and spread their wings to warm themselves in the sun. My local cell tower is a perfect perch. 😊

I guess I didn't say this is applesauce. 😁

#apples #applesauce #canning #orchard Got a half bushel of apples at the orchard. I do 3 rounds of canning, about 6 pared pounds each. Each round makes 7 pints plus a little. This is the result of round 1. I'll be paring apples tomorrow, too. So if anyone isn't busy, I have an extra peeler. 😋 😄

Nice patch of fungus. Too bad they're not a more edible kind. I have a nearby pine that supports a small patch of those. Like my granny used to say about such things, they're good for lookin' at, but not for eatin'. ☺️

#poem #poetry #poet #humor #broom #october #witchcraft The themes of much of my poetry is well suited to the autumn / Halloween season. So share it around; it might not be so appropriate come around mid-winter. 😛

There's bound to be some amusing infighting among those who would be successors to the MAGA throne. I don't think any of them understand the MAGA cult is the fans and followers of Don, and none of those wannabes is the Don that the cult wants.

That crock is nearing 200 years old. Very nice. I have a brother who is a potter. I've been around various ceramic arts stuff all my life. Gives me a particular respect for old – and very old – stoneware. 🙂

#apples #orchard #applesauce #autumn It's rainy day, so we went out to the orchard to get my annual half bushel of Jonagold apples, around 22 pounds. After paring, cooking, etc., that makes about 20 pints of applesauce... which lasts until October next year. Grab your peeler and come on over! 😋 😁

#butterfly #asters #wildlife #nature #swallowtail #flowers I went to a native wildflower patch today to see butterflies, and found this Black Swallowtail hanging around. It stayed mostly immersed in the asters which made for some pretty colorful framing! 😀

Just in case it wasn't clear, Don can do anything he wants if he declares it an official act. That makes it legal. The US Supreme Court said so. Don't you remember?

#birds #nature #wildlife #hummingbird Still a few female and immature Ruby-throated Hummingbirds cruising around central Illinois. All the adult males are gone. This one has claimed the perch for the past couple days. Getting fat fueling up for that long trip south. 😀

I'll get to the orchard probably first of next week to get my annual 1/2 bushel of apples for sauce.

If nobody is going to arrest him for attempting to overthrow the US government or for raping underage girls, then his ignoring a court order about the 1st amendment will be pretty easy to overlook.

I worked every election as a pollworker / election judge here in Peoria for about 10 years. A. There is no mail-in voting fraud happening anywhere. B. Fill in your mail-in ballot, then drop it in the box at the Election Commission. The Republicans have made it clear they intend to cheat.

Uh... "eclectic" is like the first word in my Bluesky description line. I consider being eclectic an admirable trait; like yeah, I'm proud of it. 😀 I'd be baffled, too, if someone was seeing it as an insult. 😳

There's a fun episode of the old Hitchcock Presents TV series named "The End of Indian Summer" (season 2, episode 22) that does a fun twist on the murdering spouse bit.

The Guess Who was one of my earliest "favorite" bands. Saw them way back in the 1900s. Then a year ago in July of '25, I saw Bachman-Turner Overdrive; that'd be Randy, his son Tal on guitar and lead vocals, and Tal's wife KoKo on drums. Still absolute top notch musicians and entertainers.

Mine have thinned out a lot. There's one rather pudgy female that spent the past few days on my feeder perch. She drops down to take a drink, chases away the rare occasional interloper, then back to the perch. Drinking, resting, drinking... They are our pets. 😁

Yes. It's like that mentally ill guy whose job it is to work on behalf of the people, but only 33% of the people approve of his job performance, that means he's doing it wrong.
