My New Improved Working Conditions

My new Summer Palace arrived a week and a half ago, the day before I had to scoot back to Texas for a week. I'm finally unpacked and can start to enjoy the new digs. I moved all of the bird feeders to the backyard, and after family visited this weekend, and more family, and then family of family, I can sit down and watch the birds. Retirement doesn't sound too bad if this is what it's all about.


Already this morning I've had a Pileated Woodpecker and a Rose-breasted Grosbeak visit the feeders. I can smell the big bunch of lilacs I picked yesterday, and a cool breeze is coming through the open windows. It don't get any better than this.
