House Finch Nesting in Our Artificial Christmas Tree!
A couple days ago, Sena found a bird’s nest in our front porch artificial Christmas tree. The small nest is made from the clippings of Sena’s ornamental grasses. It has 4 small eggs, which are white with dark specks. We could hear a bird singing while we were sitting in the house and it always…

Still Working on That Shower Juggle!
I’ve been working on that shower juggle pattern for a year now. Progress is slow but a couple of days ago, I noticed it got better when I held my arms pretty rigidly within the pane of glass. You can still tell I tend to morph between a half shower and a full shower. It’s…

The Demonic Shrilling Chicken Rematch
Remember that Shrilling Chicken I tried to juggle a few days ago? Well, I got my revenge for the sore finger it gave me. This is the message to chickens who peck me. Chicken, meet your juggler! This time, I put on gloves along with my usual safety goggles to prevent further injuries from the…

Jim Updates His Workout and Adds a Step Counter!
Since we added the step platform, I’ve been wondering how to count steps when I use it because for some reason my smartphone step counter won’t count steps when I try to use it on the platform. Sena got a handy step counter and it works! It works if you have it in your pocket…

Civil or Uncivil Bird Society
We caught sight of several birds engaged in the usual interactions with each other and their prey (in the case of the hawk). Call it civil or uncivil society, it’s natural no matter how you see it. I’m going to call it a Red-tailed Hawk that caught a gray squirrel and had a tough time…

Woodpeckers Coming Out of the Woodwork After the Snowstorms!

We saw a Red-Bellied Woodpecker, a Downy woodpecker, and a White-Breasted Nuthatch. Hardly a flock, but interesting anyway. We had a little trouble deciding whether we saw a White-Breasted Nuthatch or…

We are breaking the internet again as partners in juggling crime. It turns out the 2-person 6 ball juggling pattern has 3 variations: The 1, 2 Pass: Both partners make two right hand throws, then pass to the partner on the third throw. Always throw from the right side to your partner’s left. The 1…

Still Practicing the Shower Juggle!
I’m still practicing the shower juggle pattern. I’m comparing how I did in April with how I’m doing now. No doubt, my form is wonky and I still can do only 3-5 throws. But I think juggling with the big plastic balls is easier when it comes to the shower. I can’t figure why, unless…

The Santa Hat Juggling Duo Breaks the Internet!
Are we having any fun? You bet! We donned our Santa hats and did the 2-person 6 ball juggling until we fell over. This is a fun pattern because, even when you mess up, it’s hilarious. When we count out loud, it sort of helps keep us in sync—but not always. The last part of…

We’ve been rehearsing for this (or at least trying to) and one of the greatest challenges was laughing so hard we could barely stand up, let alone juggle.
