While at the kitchen window waiting for my coffeemaker to brew a cup of decaf, I noticed something moving in the grass near the back fence. A couple of robins, busily tapping for worms. Then I saw a couple more, and a sparrow. And at the edge of the garage roof sat a little hen Cardinal. Other birds... Sign in to see full entry.

ABOUT THE SUPER BOWL
Thank heavens the newsies are doing features on all facets of the Super Bowl, and letting politics, war, disaster and mistrials of the rich and famous rest in their own soup.
