Bird Feeder Cam

 Good morning,

Kjell has been busy in his wood workshop making a bird feeder cam and we are all enjoying it!  The camera is powered by a solar panel so there are no batteries to change.

We can watch the bird feeder cam on our phones.  During the first day of operation we've captured videos of birds and a squirrel who wants to be a movie star.   

I took a snapshot of a recorded video to show you what we see from the camera. 

Of course, Wendy is watching the Bird Feeder Cam from inside.  She makes sure the squirrel doesn't stay too long.

This is fun!

There are more images and information about it on Kjell's Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/kjell.t.evensen.

Hi Daddy!

 Elsa (from her seat on his footrest while staring him in the eye):  Hi Daddy!

Daddy:  Hi Elsa.  What can I do for you?

Elsa:  Cuddles would be nice.  Then I'll let you watch TV.

Pushing Protein

 Good morning,

Kjell's doctor has encouraged him to eat as much protein as possible so fish is a big part of our menu each week.  Of course, we both like fish so that works out well.

We avoid fried foods so I've baked that cod in the image once again, but instead of topping it with tomatoes as I have in the past, I topped it with lemon juice, garlic salt (in moderation), pepper, carrots, and cheese.  I also made cheesy broccoli.  We haven't had many carbs lately so I made one of my favorites, garlic noodles. 

This meal turned out to be a real winner.

Yum!

Ta Da! Here are the Lilies!

 Good morning,

Well, here they are!

I am so very pleased that the lilies came back this year.

 I have a pot of these on each side of the steps on the front porch.  I was concerned they wouldn't be back this year after I saw the squirrels had been digging in the pots last Fall.

Well, we are just delighted to see you, pretty lilies!

Happy Gardening,

Lois

Take The Kids To Work Day

 

Good morning,

Catherine sent me these images more than a week ago.  

When she has clients coming in to her CPA firm who are "dog people," she often takes our dogs along so they can socialize. 

Above you see Wendy supervising in the conference room.

 And, here Elsa is meeting with a client.

 That is so very sweet!

Mini Lobster!

 Good morning,

Catherine sent me this image of the crayfish (we called them crawdads when I was a kid) that she found in the bottom of her friend's pool.  The little fellow wouldn't survive long there with the chlorine so she rescued him, then had to save him from the pups who were also very interested and certainly wouldn't have been very gentle while inspecting him.

Ah, yes, summer weather!

:),
