As the multiple R2’s rolled around the Maker Faire today, I was amused at the number of young kids who recognized the droid.  I was also amused at how the random beeps, bells and whistles are so instantly recognizable.

We think our bird bath might be one of the only consistent sources of water around for the birds, and these feathered friends were certainly taking advantage of it this hot afternoon.

Just looked down and noticed my arm is bleeding.  It’s like I’ve been bitten by a 3-fanged vampire.

A couple years ago I took a picture of this installation that shows what the whole thing kind of looks like(http://blog.parkercat.org/lis365/2014/09/09/public_art/).  It’s back, and this picture is so much better.  I love the funky angle, the colors, and especially the sparkles from the water.

It’s not often that Doug writes himself notes, and this one struck me funny for some reason.  I invite all of you to interpret its meaning…

A couple years ago I posted a very similar picture (http://blog.parkercat.org/lis365/2014/02/20/peek_a_boo_1/)  of Ferrous hiding under the blanket, but I couldn’t resist this.

Another year, another clambake.  People who don’t want lobster have their choice of steak, tuna or salmon.

Doug worked from home today and said this little critter was going after this (empty) water bottle all afternoon. And then we spotted him again during dinner.  He’s quite determined…

It’s not a very good picture, and it’s not like I actually care, but I felt obligated as someone who works in Boston to take a photo of it.  So here it is.  Yaaay.

I don’t think iguanas know it’s not polite to chew with your mouth open.
