For the Birds

We used the last of the birdseed in the feeder just before leaving for Worldcon, and after we got back, we were sick for a while, and then we held off on restarting feeding because of our painting plans. However, it does look now like we won't have the right weather to finish touching up the front porch paint (we got the most weathered areas done), so today I went out and bought a fresh bag of bird seed, refilled the feeder, and spread seed on the ground below and around the feeder.

That Didn't Take Long )

Yesterday, while driving toward Reno on I-80 west of Wadsworth, Lisa spotted a herd of deer in one of the fields between the freeway and the Truckee River. For reasons I will explain later, we had to double back home, and Lisa counted at least twenty deer in the herd. I was not able to get a picture because there is no frontage road in that area that gets close enough for a good picture, and I wasn't going to stop on the freeway!
