Ugh! Tough Puzzle
Posted in jigsaw puzzles on 18-Dec-2015
We just grew tired of this one. Not enough well-defined edges and too many similar colorations.
Denali Puzzle
Posted in Around the house, jigsaw puzzles, Travel on 17-Dec-2015
We went overboard with this puzzle. It was a very difficult one to assemble and it has sentimental value: we bought it at Denali National Park. So we felt we should preserve it. So here it is, nicely framed. This is one of the many national parks poster created by artists working in the Federal Art Project between 1938 and 1943.
New Fridge
Posted in Around the house on 25-Nov-2015
Our Electrolux refrigerator has been a bit of a lemon since day one. A few weeks ago the ice maker quite working and error codes appeared on the display so we decided to give up on it and get a new one. So here it is: a huge Kenmore. Hopefully this one will last as long as we do.
Owl!
Posted in Animals on 18-Nov-2015
After a full day in the yard cleaning up yesterday’s fallen tree I was just about the head into the house when a bird flew right in front of me and landed in the nearby cedar. I peered in and saw what I thought was ababy owl; it seemed so small. It was already nearly dark but I grabbed my camera and did my best to get some photos. Only after I got them onto the computer and brightened them up a did I realize the little critter had killed one of the birds feeding on our patio and was apparently getting ready for a meal. I think it was a Northern Pygmy Owl.
Stormy Day & Night
Posted in Around the house on 17-Nov-2015
We were getting ready to bring in the bird feeders for the night and I switched on the outside lights and glanced out the window when one of the three large fir trees on the west edge of the yard crashed down just on the edge of the patio… only about 12 feet from the house. What a sight. It took a couple of major limbs from our Japanese maple and kind of crushed the bird bath but otherwise no harm done. Whew!
Snow on Mt Si
Posted in Weather on 11-Nov-2015
I couldn’t tell yesterday if the snow level was low enough to get to the peak of Mt. Si but it sure did this morning. The official low here was 43 degrees and Mt Si had a clear dusting well below its 4167-foot top.
