Sunday Morning Country with Sparrows

Every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., we listen to Sunday Morning Country on Boston College's radio station, WZBC (90.3FM, streaming at http://wzbc.org/listen.html) hosted by the incomparable Cousin Kate. That's what you're hearing in the background. The sparrows were very excited because we had just refilled the birdfeeder. It was mesmerizing to watch them swoop in and out, sometimes singly, sometimes en masse, seemingly in time to the music.

Early Fall In the West

Jon and I took a little jaunt to see the Rocky Mountains. We had a blast! When we came back, Jon wrote a narrative of our adventures, and then I added more pictures - selecting only the best of the thousands I took. The daily narratives are on Jon's blog and the pictures are on this blog, but here's a list of all the bits and pieces, for your convenience.
