When A Flycatcher Catches Flies

Venus, Mars, stars, and the Moon aligned last night from lower right to upper left.

The key to the night sky last night from LiveSky.com.

How many flies do flycatchers catch when flycatchers are catching flies? That is a good 17-syllable question. However, I couldn’t get a Timku out of the question as it is phrased. I made a couple of gifs and wrote and recorded a silly song to go with the gifs, and made a music video instead of a Timku.

This lizard ran up ahead of me and stopped in a sliver of shade and looked at me. When it saw its reflection in the Bazooka, it came back toward me to challenge the lizard in the lens. I had to back up because it got too close for me to focus. It did push-ups for the challenge.

Happy Solstice!

Spunk: “Bah, Solstice humbug! The stinking day lasts too stinking long on stinking Solstice!”

Like A Bowl Of Strawberries

Silver thinks life is like a bowl of strawberries.

We remodeled the kitchen at the office this week. It all started Tuesday when I removed the cabinets in the storeroom so we could move the cabinets from the kitchen to the storeroom. Jake and I took out the lower cabinets in the kitchen and installed them in the storeroom, and then replaced the hot water shut-off in the kitchen. The new kitchen cabinets were installed on Wednesday. I installed a new, deeper sink and a new dishwasher. We have a new kitchen at the office.

Half moon and clouds this morning.

Spunk: “Life ain’t no stinking bowl of strawberries. It’s more like a stinking bowl of birdies!”

The Strawberry Moon at 98.9% full last night. It will be 99.9% full tonight, but it will rise after 10:00 PM.

Do you see the bees?
