Snickers

 Can I take a picture of your dog? I really didn't want to pet Snickers..but he's kind of cute.

 The owner gave a snap of fingers, then made a gesture and said "sit."

 Dog would sit, then one of us would say something like "good dog" and up she'd he'd come. So owner said "sit" a few more times. Poor dog was like a yo-yo!

I did the dishes!

Here I am being all proud of myself...this is one of my most unfavorite chores to do. And as a single person who seldom cooks, there really weren't that many. (No dishwasher in this one bedroom apartment.)

Just what I'm good at doing these days...jamming my finger onto the blade of the blender. A bandaid was all I needed.

And I was back into soapy water and finished those dishes!

So that was the excitement yesterday! I watched the robins who have a nest just too far away to take good photos (OK, I could get out the real camera and put batteries in it, which of course would need to be charged first.)

I refilled the hummingbird feeder. And scared the little wren who apparently is nesting again in the spirit house (right behind the door to the tiny balcony.) I haven't been seeing 2 of them, so maybe she's got eggs and will try doing this batch alone. She stayed away from me while I hung the hummingbird feeder, but the minute I was back inside she flew out of the spirit house.
