Last Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day at the Estate. 

Here's a new one for you. She is Bryan's friend, Dorothy. I don't know what I did, but she knows I did it. Also in attendance were , Mork and Mindy, the AKA Smiths, Bryan, Grasshopper, Tina, Jose and Jahzara. OH! And young Corey came to see how old people had fun.


La table. On the menu was roast chicken, sausages, kabobs, corn on the knob, onion rings and salad stuff. Oh, and anatomically correct Frank's buns.


Maggie guarding the sausages.


The ravage begins.


Don't you love the look you get when you catch somebody with their mouth full?



 After dessert we had a nice talk about the history of Little Tomiko. Somebody has to write this stuff down.


A sunset for all you Mothers.



 Flat as a mirror Tuesday morning.


A blurry pic of a bufflehead duck.


There were two of them. 
 


Yesterday afternoon I was, "looking out my back door" (get it?). when I saw this big fella pounding his head on the ground.


He tore up the driveway.


A sock foot for comparison.

A pine grosbeak I think, way up high.


Last evening, while having supper, this guy came by for the first time this year. He was nervous, but he'll get used to us for a better selfie.


We finally got some rain last evening. We really needed it as the bush is really dry. There have been a few brush fires in the North Bay area already. A foggy morning this morning.





Maybe I need a career change?

Your Bufflehead appears to be a Hooded Merganser (at least the single individual image; I can't make out the other one).
