The birds and squirrels have been eating us out of house and home. Henrik fills the bird feeder every single day. The suet goes in two or three days. We’re trying to attract as many varieties as we can but so far as have hummingbirds, finches, starlings, crows, stellar jays, flickers, and probably other birds I don’t know the names of. We have some regular squirrels, too. They sit on the flower pots and lawn furniture and window sills and work their clairvoyance until we feed them. And we found some food that the dog and cat REALLY like. It’s called Evo and it’s made by Innova. And it ain’t cheap. But Henrik said, “We can eat beans and rice every day so they can get the good food.” Well, we’re not eating beans and rice EVERY day but we’re getting short drips at Tully’s now instead of the chais and lattes. I’m telling you, the critters got it good at our house.
Yippee for WordPress
I really like this new website. GOOD JOB, HENRIK! There are benefits hooking up with a techie. But really, this WordPress service is much easier to use than Joomla that we were using before. My sweetie is a genius.
Sundays at the Farmers Market
Henrik and I have been going to the West Seattle Farmers Market every Sunday morning. It’s a goofy little outing we look forward to now every week. We give ourselves $20 and search out the odd and bizarre. It’s amazing how much stuff you can buy for only $20. I added a Farmers Market article in my Seattle Avenue e-newsletter.
Kiwi has wings
On May 15 we lost Kiwi. She unexpectedly graduated to wings. I really miss her and still say her name by mistake when I’m talking to Kula. It’s really quiet around here without her constant licking and bumping into things. Our house is peaceful now but the peace accentuates the loud loss of her good spirit. She was a real trooper. A hero dog.
