Hundred dollar Covid vaccine!?! No, actual total per person was $158.83. Twenty dollar a charge for doing the injection. This adds up FAST, $475 unexpected cost for our family of THREE.

I was able to attend when a friend was the guest speaker-Judge Clover is amazing at his job, and the whole thing was so very powerful and moving. So glad you were there welcoming new citizens!!

Photo of a Northern Flicker bird (about 10 cm tall, mostly grey and white, long beak, with red patch on back of head) at a heated bird bath on the snow on a very cold day.

I had a pair of Northern Flickers visit the heated bird bath yesterday (poor photo from the kitchen of only one of them). I’ve only ever seen them travelling solo. Time to read up on their pair behaviour.

My jays come and do a "pew pew pew" screech for peanuts and I think they are saying thank you after with a "bloop bloop" kind of sound. Also down to a handful of peanuts in the big jar and need to restock.

This is my fave product especially in winter. I sure wish they had some kind of refill system because the bottles are beautiful but I hate buying a new bottle every time.
