It’s Good to be the King
After some more rain it cleared out and we had a respite from dampness and humidity. I went shopping for a part that broke in one of the toilet’s tanks and I fixed it rather quickly. I had time to get my camera ready and shoot some pictures, some of which I’m showing you on this post.
Tyler
My son Tyler will be 4 years old in May, he attends PreSchool yet. It happens that he’s been chosen to be the king at the Pre-School and his little friend Sophia the queen. How do you like that?
We’re happy for him, he’s very popular among his friends and teachers.
The other day I was going shopping, took a back road and I saw on the side of the road 2 large dark birds, at first I thought they were wild turkeys which are abundant in our wood areas. When I drove near them the took flight, then I noticed they were 2 Black Vultures! Most likely disposing of a roadkill.

Noisy Rain
It’s Sunday when I’m writing this post, I look outside and it’s raining normally but last night the rain was very heavy and noisy. It’s noon now and I haven’t been able to refill the feeders yet because the rain. Besides, this rain would have washed away all the seeds and that’s a waste.
Good thing that I haven’t seen any birds around yet. I don’t blame them if they want to keep their feathers dry and not eat soggy seeds.
Seems at times that the sun would want to break in through the clouds, it’s not as dark now as it was earlier.
I do have some pictures for you from yesterday though, I shot a series about two field sparrows dispute for seeds and soon things get ugly!
