The Urban Pantheist

I went and visited my dad this weekend. At one point, Charlie got up in his lap in the passenger seat.


I helped remove an air conditioner from a window. Once it was out I was surprised to find a bird's nest had been built in the little nook there. You can see how the back of the nest bears the imprint of the a/c's vent louvers.


Then we went to South Hadley to pick up a piece of furniture from craigslist. On the way we passed this house with all this interesting poultry. Guineafowl, both barred and white, up above, and turkeys below. Also a cat.

I have a backlog of cute and fun pictures from this past week at work! In fact, now that I look at them, they are from the week previous to last--what's my problem? No matter, you just want to see the cute.( Read more... )
