Goldfinch

Not the best picture since I took it on my tablet, but I was glad to get it at all.  Goldfinches are Doug’s favorite backyard bird, and I always enjoy when birds come to the bath, so this was a particularly nice avian visit.

turtle decor

Someone in my local “Buy Nothing” group was giving these tiles away, and I told her if no one else wanted them, I’d take them for the turtle room at work.  I hope the turtles enjoy them.  And if they don’t, I’m certain the staff will.

library savings

I love when a find a previous reader’s receipt in my library book; it’s fun to see what other books someone checked out, in addition to the one we have in common.  But I love the note on the bottom of this library’s receipt.

teeny tiny Abe

I have this cool little portable microscope that can attached to your phone or tablet’s camera, and today at work I enjoyed wandering around and showing it to people. The adults in particular were fascinated to learn that Abe Lincoln is actually visible in the memorial building on the back of a penny.
