Just an Introduction
Well, it has been about 3 months since I opened this blog. My YouTube channel needed an updated channel trailer, so I’m posting it here as well. Why not? I was surprised at how long a minute and a half channel trailer took to make, even with the aid of video editing software (maybe because…

Robin Saga: The Next Chapter
This is just a quick post updating the saga of our robin family in the front yard crabapple tree. It looks like all 4 chicks are alive and kicking so far. The parents are very protective. The male robin won’t fly away unless I’m just close enough to touch him. The female is about the…

Baby Robins Fill the Nest
It rained for about an hour or so before I could get out to the crabapple to check the progress of the robin hatchlings. Yesterday there were two unhatched eggs but there was a definite hole in one of them. There are now 4 hatchlings, although the biggest one looks pretty sluggish—and appears to sport…

Hatch You Baby Robins!
Yesterday, we noticed 4 eggs in the Robins’ nest. They take about 14 days to incubate and it just so happens time’s up today. Right on cue the eggs started cracking this morning. It takes all day and it was well after 3:00 PM before there was the tiniest pinhole in the third egg. Two…

Life in the Garden
We were out working hard in the garden today–or at least Sena was. She was very busy planting Black-Eyed Susan and other things the names of which I can never remember. I usually just take pictures and make videos of her garden. It’s a lot of fun watching her. But that’s not all I do.…

More Reset Woes
It can take a while longer than you expect when you do a system reset of your computer. I’m still trying to get my software reinstalled. You know, it’s not very funny when you get the message that all of your apps are going to be expunged and the long list you see on the…

Reset Day
Well, I spoke too soon yesterday after following complicated instructions to fix the File (or Windows) Explorer Not Responding” issue. The fix didn’t stick and I wound up doing a system reset after all. It took up most of my day, which is a long time to grind my teeth. Not that I have a…

Coming to Terms with Retirement
I’m in the off phase of phased retirement right now. It reminds me of the consuming question, “What are you going to do when you’re retired.” Coming to terms with retirement is not a one-step thing. It’s probably easier to think of things I’m not going to do. I can think of at least a…

Our Garden So Far
Short post again today in view of the Memorial Day holiday. However, the mood is light here today as Sena adds Gomphrena to our garden. It’s an annual that will attract hummingbirds, like the feeders. It rained this morning and she got caught in it. She just stayed out there, planting flowers. I stayed dry,…

Hummingbird Adventure
It was a long day so this is a short post. It’s different from other long days in that my wife and I had fun besides doing all the yard work. Sena got the hummingbird feeders (3) and I mixed the sugar water since I need all the practice I can get regarding cooking. It’s…
