Watched the dude bagging my groceries today like a hawk, on the slightly unfair basis that a man who can remark to his coworker in that illiberal way that he “doesn’t like genre books” might very well stow my little cups of yogurt under my canned goods, “assistant manager” tho’ he be. 😠

I've been visiting a hairy woodpecker nest hole in a forested park over the last week and a half, and today a little woodpecker stuck eir head out! My vantage is too far away to be sure how many hatchling voices are begging when the parents come with grubs and insects, but I've spied at least the one!

Healthcare worker training me to give myself an injection for eczema: A lot of people choose the pen because they have trouble with the sight of a needle, but it doesn’t seem like that’s you?
Me: Nope!
Me some minutes later, trying to see the bevel at the tip of the needle to position it as directed: Okay, without my reading glasses I do have a SORT of trouble with the sight of a needle.

Have seen the word ‘regretful’ in news stories twice today, both times dubiously used in a pro forma apology. Is this tortured usage standard for nonpologies?
“‘Your honor, I understand that my actions are regretful,’ he told the judge who heard his case. Although he knew he’d broken the law, he silently stewed, believing he was a victim of government retribution…” (Jan. 6 rioter quoted in WaPo)
If regret is genuine, it’s felt by a subject, not vaguely pinned near some actions.

Was lucky enough to watch a downy woodpecker pair foraging around some willows today: squawking to summon each other at times and moving silently, intent on their hunt, at others.
The female, moreover, seems to be leucistic?! Her wingtips, rather than being dark/black with white spots, sport an ombré from espresso to caffe latte! First photo is of her mate, to show a more usual plumage.

Realized yesterday that I was taking photos of Doc in the same spot where I had often taken photos of our cat-emeritus, Qubit, years ago. Because of the same sunbeam!
(Doc is the blue tabby. Qubit, pictured in 2017, is just blue.)

Alma is a sophisticated lady-cat who absolutely could get the mousey toy out of this bowl if that was her aim. She would never sit on it and then scrabble comically. She’s just hanging out here being extremely casual, as you can see.

My cats were snuggled up especially adorably last #caturday and I forgot to post them, so I made a little project of trying to capture them being cute together every day this week. I only missed Tuesday! (When I only photographed them being cute separately.) Caturday everyday! (1/2 -- hoping to get a good snuggle photo today before posting second batch!)

One year ago today we got our amazing kitties: Doc Cochran and Alma, the Widow Garret! They have brought all the chaos we expected and even more sweetness and snuggles than we dared hope.
When we brought them home, shy Doc was very intent on hiding in safe places, while his curious sister explored and called him if she found something really important. (More often, he called her back to cuddle!)
She is still the leader, and they still love each other very much!

It is surprising how many colors there are in a black cat. Her pelt of course is brown as well as black; but her black beans have a blush of lilac, and the sun shines white and silver on her fur, while the blush pink of her ears extends onto her little face on either side. Her little mouth is just touched with pink as if she tasted a powder puff, and of course her lovely eyes are bronze with a slight green patina.
(Yes, I am bonkers over this little cat.)
