Looking For A Snack

Hooded orioles are such pretty birds.  I really love them.  They aren't all that big, either.  This is the male.  These birds are seasonal, arriving in late March and heading out at the beginning of October.  I put a cute peek-a-boo shot of him in as an extra.

I went to the deli for breakfast early this morning.  There are three picnic tables outside.  It was pleasant today because some people who I have met there were at the other two tables.  There's a Mexican woman and her son who are very friendly and a gentleman who stops for a coffee and cinnamon bun every day halfway through his 30 mile bike ride.  I stayed for a long time after they left.  If I get there early enough, my regular routine is to stay there until I feel  too hot. I have a color-by-number app on my iPad mini which is really relaxing.  It's also harder than it sounds.  This morning I was there for about three hours.  Once again I was drenched by the time I got home but that was okay. Getting all of those toxins out of the ol' system.

I have finally learned my lesson and have figured out how to save water.  Rather than take a shower in the morning, I wait until I get home (or come in from the yard) all hot and sweaty. When my body cools down and I'm sure I'll be in the rest of the day I take my shower.  Ta da!  Can't believe I hadn't thought of that sooner.

Heard from Reno brother today.  It's always nice to hear from him.  Our topics of discussion always include photography but today health insurance was on his mind.  He'll be eligible for Medicare in a couple of weeks.  I think he's excited because he won't have to pay $50,000/year for his Obamacare anymore.
