A bit like 'pig-pen' in the snoopy cartoons! <br />So pleased your new member of staff is settling in quickly and working well - sounds like she was a good choice, long may it last!debs14https://www.blogger.com/profile/14521565769251816528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284434809316161095.post-29968411974825855722017-07-21T08:54:25.549-04:002017-07-21T08:54:25.549-04:00We are at peak for the Lucifers - what a glorious ...We are at peak for the Lucifers - what a glorious year they are having. The yellow finch has a lovely little song, but only get to hear if they feel comfortable to sit & sing, no moving on our part, not even a hand raise to get the camera. Fussy little birds.Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284434809316161095.post-59074334743735368222017-07-19T18:45:32.379-04:002017-07-19T18:45:32.379-04:00I like your yellow finch.

Good shot of the lucifer - why didn't I think of that angle?

The birders recommend taking down the feeders so they don't gather & spread the parasite.Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284434809316161095.post-75349144209274550262017-07-17T09:44:03.763-04:002017-07-17T09:44:03.763-04:00I love the look of white jeans, as well.

The Kindle I use periodically came from my mum (and before she used it, it belonged to my FinL) and I'm still in two minds abut whether I like it or not.<br />That finch is a beauty, wish we had some like that in London.<br />Love your comments on white jeans!

I enjoyed the Friedman book, but several of the book club members felt as you do. It was slow going even if you like it. Love that cartoon.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510788797735066383noreply@blogger.com
