These are some posts from the later part of last week in case you missed them: Birdfeeding Birdfeeding Philosophical Questions: Money Sea Mammals vs. Sharks Birdfeeding Follow Friday 11-10-23: Classical Birdfeeding Hobbies: Karate Poem: "Ripples with No Logical End" Birdfeeding Activism: What Are Your Salary Requirements? Good News Last week's poetry fishbowl went well. I am still writing, but have recently posted thumbnails for several completed poems. Furthermore, the fishbowl made its $300 goal, so there will be a half-price sale from Monday, November 20-Sunday November 26. Mark your calendars, and I hope to see you then! There are three open epics at present. " Within the Souls of Men " is now complete! Shiv and the Iron Horses finish mending their differences. " Before You Can Love Me " belongs to Iron Horses and has 12 new verses. Spotted Deer and Warshirt discuss counseling and life skills. " That Light Bulb in Your House with a Short in It " belongs to Shiv , Iron Horses, and Foster Fiasco . It has 49 new verses. Shiv and the Iron Horses debate what they can do for the other children in the Adder house. The weather has been variable here. We've had several more frosts but some days are still mild. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a flock of house finches, a flock of sparrows, at least two goldfinches, a pair of cardinals, and two fox squirrels (one male). I have hung up a corncob and topped up the thistle sock, but have not yet put out a suet cake. Currently blooming: white alyssum and blue lobelia. I've been digging in the daffodil bed to transplant some.
