Birds Ate My Breakfast

Gino and Rocky are nothing if not persistent. And they love cereal. Here they are perched on my bowl looking for a handout.

Katie, meanwhile, has been giving our new mudroom rug a test drive.




This is a super tough, indoor/outdoor rug--guaranteed to stand up to muddy feet and paws. A couple passes with the vacuum and it looks like new again.


This is my first post in a while. The past couple months of this term have been unbelieveably busy. Not much time for blogging or knitting. Classes end this week and, hopefully, things will settle down a bit.

"Quick, before someone sees us. I'll keep an eye out while you break into the oats!"

Punked

Recently, our two parakeets Rocky and Gino went through a molt--always an extravagant process. It's hard to believe that two tiny birds have that many feathers to lose. When the new feathers come in, they're like tiny spikes, and it looks like the birds have little punk hair dos. Here's a picture of Gino punking out. You can kind of see the spikes in the white feathers on his head.
