About me

For the last decade and more, my fascination with taking things apart and putting them back together again has manifested itself in my habitual making, using and working with Internet stuff.

In addition to providing me with a soapbox, this site tracks what I’m up to online using feeds from Flickr, del.icio.us and others.

hunkered down

hunkered down

Here's the head shot of the blue jay at my feeder. If you missed yesterday's shot of its back, here it is. I don't know if it was a young bird not yet smart enough to be wary, or whether it was ill, though it didn't appear sick, except for its hunkered down posture, which is not typical of sassy blue jays.

It seems like we CAN believe in miracles, though the prognosis is still guarded for Peggy Sue and some of the other marshside menagerie critters. But it is now possible to think that the little one may really have beaten back an attack of distemper. Please visit Mary Anne's site to see the story of what has been happening, and please do what you can to help, whether it be sending money to defray some of her expenses, if you can afford to, or sending prayers or healing energy.

I'll be very busy with work today, as I must catch up with what I missed while my water heater was installed. If Peggy Sue has a guardian angel in Alice, I have one in Andy, my next-door neighbor, who installed the unit for me, which took many long hours due to fittings that wouldn't fit and his having to reconfigure the piping. While he worked, I mostly kept him company and served as plumber's helper when needed (not often). Now that it's up and running, I can turn my attention back to my work. I'll try to catch up with you later. If I don't, please understand. Thanks. Have a lovely day.
