Regular bathing is important for companion birds, both for the hygiene and for the obvious enjoyment they get out of it. As long as the water is a steady, gentle trickle, they're happy. But suddenly she changed her mind - and here we are. SPLISH SPLASH! I'm hoping she's turned a corner, and will get back to enjoying her shower more regularly.

It doesn't get as cold here as it does in Ohio, but even so you do feel the chill on days when the wind is blowing rain here on the mountain. The photo below was taken last Friday afternoon - when it was about 10C (roughly 50F or so). Double-click the photo above to view a larger image). Wednesday, August 28, 2013.

We woke up to a windy morning (Laka hates it when it's windy - makes her jittery). I checked the CFA website and found that there's one more district labelled with "Very High" fire danger (yellow), but surprisingly, there's no fire ban today. In the meantime, my windows remain shut. Saturday, April 27, 2013. Friday, April 26, 2013. Not What You Expect in Late April. The medicine ...

I was wrong, very wrong. Last Weds. the CFA. Rated the fire danger as "Very High". Oh, lordy. today it's worse - today it's "severe". In most of the state, including the central district - where we live. The temperature as I type this. Tomorrow the rating will drop back down to "high". Wednesday, March 27, 2013.

Still Flying Over the Rainbow. A companion to the book "Flying Over the Rainbow". New posts monthly. Wednesday, February 27, 2013. I discovered Monty Python's Flying Circus as a teenager. The program was broadcast weekly on the local station "WOSU" (OSU being Ohio State University). Dinsdale, as bad as he was, had an Achilles' heal - he was terrified of an imaginary hedgehog named "Spiny Norman", who apparently grew to enormous proportions whenever Dindsdale was depressed. Had bolted out the door and, sh...

I hadn't really thought about it much, but we haven't seen Maggie and Billy Bob here together for a while. Seperately, yes, but not together - and mostly it's been Billy Bob. The reason? Ah breeding season. Yes, our magpies have a youngster - "Junior". But you can see in this one (below). Doubleclick these photos to see larger images). Finally h...

I've only met one person who claims to have been bitten, although EVERYBODY has had one in the house from time to time. Huntsman encounters are fairly common here. I still don't want them to be on me (and that has not happened so far),. So OK One or two 8-legged wonders is a good thing. But you can have too much of a good thing. Then I went into Steph...

Still Flying Over the Rainbow. A companion to the book "Flying Over the Rainbow". New posts monthly. Wednesday, January 30, 2013. We've got a bumper crop of huntsmen in the house. Last night there were 4 babies on the kitchen ceiling. Today there's more - one in the laundry room and three on the ceiling in the upstairs hall (photo below):. And then I found this little guy crouching on the wall in the stairwell:. They're all about the same size, just little guys. Stay away from me. Don't eat the canary.
