The last three days have been a string of appointments. Dentist, dermatologist, entrepreneurship seminar, client meeting, client call, allergy shot, dinner with mom, lunch with financial advisor, another client meeting. In between all of these have been the usual client projects, as well as moving back into the almost-finished bedroom and having a celebratory cocktail [...]

Found on a trail at West Point on the Eno.

The last of the hatchlings is dead in its nest. One disappeared yesterday—I looked under the Russian Olive to see if it had fallen, but couldn’t find it anywhere. I assume it fell out of the nest and succumbed to a predator, or one of the neighborhood hawks or owls plucked it right from the [...]

This snake picked the wrong nest for picking off baby birds.

At first they looked like no more than a wriggling bit of fuzz at the bottom of the nest.

Monday: Up before 6am. Work out. At [...]

This cardinal has been sitting on its nest right outside my studio window. I was able to take this shot by creeping sloooowly and quietly up to the window (I had to shoot through the glass which is why the quality’s not so hot). When she’s not in the nest, I can see two eggs, [...]

The Husband Unit is cooking dinner this evening, and wondered where the hell we’d put hanging basket that holds the onions. Good thing I remembered they’re in the cedar closet, hanging next to my summer clothes.

1. I just finished watching Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog.
2. Barry took a meeting with someone from the Indy at the Pinhook about media stuff, probly had dinner somewhere and then went to Bill A.’s poker game. I stayed home, ate leftovers and read about drupal themes until my eyes glazed over and I turned to [...]
