Here is a wee fledgling house finch, just a few hours before its first flight from the nest (which was in a fern on my porch).
Happy Independence Day weekend! I hope you have some exciting plans for fun with friends and family! I’m looking forward to watching plenty of tennis as Wimbledon winds up (I’m watching Roddick and Murray at the moment — what a great match!), getting out on my bike and spending some laid back time with the peeps around the house — plus checking out all the holiday critters on the ark, of course! Be safe, healthy and have a wonderful weekend!

Watch this video and then tell me: if you don’t support universal public coverage (hello, Mary Landrieu!), what do you suggest this woman do?
ps. Dear Democrats and Obama,
Until I see some serious effort on this issue — and also some follow-through on all those pesky little promises you’ve been making to gay Americans over the past few years while you’ve been taking all their money, I’ll be sitting on the sidelines. Okthanksbye!

The November 2008 election is finally over.

Twenty-five years ago today, I married this guy. We were really just a couple of kids, with no idea of what we were getting ourselves into, but we’ve managed to survive the rough spots and thrive in the good times. It’s been a greater adventure than I’d ever imagined it would be and I’m eager to see what the next twenty-five will bring…

Painfully loud pitchman Billy Mays died at his home today.

This week, Nonnie turned ten years old. We had a party on Wednesday, with presents to unwrap and yummy food. She’s pretty indispensable around here. One of her very important jobs is to monitor the activity in the neighborhood and she takes it very seriously. If a person comes along — especially someone wearing a uniform and/or in a loud truck (like a mail carrier or UPS/Fed Ex delivery driver), she will alert you to the intrusion until your ears bleed. Our doorbell is pretty much extraneous.
Sorry about the late post today! My Friday ended up being more like a Monday — thank goodness it’s over. And there are always the arkettes to distract a person from the day’s headaches! Have a wonderful weekend!
