Mutterings

So Penny is running back and forth to Montreal (by train). And Linda and Rick Creese are in town. And there was a 5k run on Sunday. And somewhere in all that, because Penny was pretty fragged out and needed some TLC, I made a nice dinner with candles and mushroom risotto. So all you need now is the pictures.

The fun news is we have new tennants. Andrew gave us a neat bird house many years ago and we dutifully (with some optomism) put it into a nice neighbourhood in the back yard. It has been looked at by several bird couples of varying types and sizes, but has always remained empty - until this Spring. We have a pair of red breasted nuthatches in residence. They are really cute, about the size of a chickadee, and they walk up and down tree trunks and flit through the back yard trees and shrubs looking for seeds and bugs.
So all you need now is the pictures. A confession: I scanned the bird picture from the Audubon field guide that Chooch gave us in 1980.
