Ooh, nice redwood deck! Are you going to christen the new place like a boat, smash the bottle, in this case , across the deck, to symbolize good luck, great writing and , let’s see, oh, excellent bird watching. Maybe a toast beforehand. Very excited for you! The yard will soon be filled with a riot of color and birdsong.
“You must really love birds.” And I do too, I can’t wait to see what comes your way. Just hung up my first attempt at a nesting ball, very enticing contents, at least in my opinion🪹🐦⬛🪺.
Thanks Lor. I think we will christen the place by drinking the Writer's Tears! Maybe pour a small libation on the deck... The color is now arriving in the orioles and warblers! Good luck with the nesting ball--let me know how it goes!
What a beautiful and inspiring spot that will be for you! I was hoping to stop by before we moved (in 5 days!) but the day we decided to visit Whitewater and Bisbee you were hiking the Grand Canyon. We have Anna's year-round but in the last week a male Broad-billed showed up as well as a male Costa's this morning. It's bittersweet for me though as soon I'll be gone from this beautiful spot in the Dragoons.
Yes, so bittersweet...so sorry I never had a chance to visit your place in the Dragoons...if you ever come to Bisbee when I'm not hiking the GC (!) be sure to stop by--anytime. The first Painted Redstart of the season just came by this morning...with a pair of Scott's Orioles! It's getting interesting!
WOW!! all of it Ken! the hummers are just gorgeous and all the progress. You guys ROCK!!

It must be amazing to get all those humming birds! Such beautiful creatures.
Your writing shed looks amazing and I had never before realised there's a brand of Irish Whiskey called Writers Tears!
Thanks Juliet! Visit us anytime! I'll let you know how the Writer's Tears tastes--happy to share a glass!
That "Tree Fort" will be amazing! So beautiful. And I love your choice of christening spirits ❤️
Soon we'll christen the shed...join us if you like! Might even see a few birds...
Fabulous hummingbirds and a damn fine view from the writing shed! An excellent perch from which to consider and witness the world....
Thanks Susan! Yes, I think this is why we are here--to witness this astonishing world around us. Love that we both do this with words...
