August visit to Chautauqua
A surprise visitor
I glanced out the window and was surprised to see this northern flicker sitting on the grass by my patio. He seemed to be picking up insects, and he kept it up for at least five minutes. This is the first time I can recall a flicker visiting our backyard bird buffet, so I was …

An unplanned walk
A walk in the Holden Arboretum wasn't part of my plan this morning, but when Lisa and I finished our meeting, she suggested a walk in the Arboretum before we went to lunch, and I definitely wasn't going to say no. We both love the Arboretum, and who could resist an opportunity like that on a beautiful …

Running behind, playing catch-up, and finally a Friday Face:Rae

Annual Art Festival
Vacation Bible School, which I wrote about in my last post, ended last night with a celebration and presentation for the parents and grandparents.
