Day at the Zoo

Last Sunday, Theresa and I took her great niece Iree to the Zoo. It was a fun day, but we were beat after about an hour of pushing a stroller and carrying Iree! The Butterfly Magic exhibit is open and we saw quite a few butterflies, including some that were just emerging. Yes, we took the infamous baby wearing adult sunglasses picture.

Memorial Day

Muffin is loving our new back porch. I stepped away for a moment today and lost my chair!

Porch is Ready for Summer

A few weeks ago, we had a new roof installed on our back, upstairs porch. This weekend we installed carpet and it's ready for the summer. I enjoy sitting on the new lounger, watching the birds. I have a feeling we'll be out here a lot.

Curtains

On out trip to Charlotte in February, I purchased fabric for curtains in the living room. Thank you to Joy for spotting this beautiful, silk fabric. I finished the curtains on the door and side windows. I still need to work on the big window.

Migration at Magee

I spent today at Magee Marsh watching warblers. It was a great day, despite the cooler temperatures. We saw many fabulous birds. As always, I was unprepared and had to borrow a hat and jacket to make it through the afternoon! Thank you to Judy for providing a yummy lunch! All bird photos are courtesy of Carl Johnson.

At the feeder

Luis's feeder featured White-crowned Sparrows while we were visiting them last week.

Lucy was chillin' like a villain for her daily belly rub.

Chicago Style

We've been traveling to Chicago for nearly 20 years and never ate classic, Chicago-style pizza. Last night, we finally had it and it was delicious.
