LU-DI-CRIOUS!!!

This is the view outside yesterday - multiple times during the day....

It's the end of May for Pete's sake!

But, the good news is all the cold weather has brought in a bunch of colorful birds.

A couple of goldfinch.

Is this guy cute or what!?!

Check out this side view.

Fat and fluffy is good.

The sleek Lazuli Bunting.


The not so sleek bunting...well - it's eating.

Chillin on a branch.

What you lookin at?

Bullocks Oriole with cool black mask.

Backside of Bullocks - neat black and white wing pattern.

Communal feed.

Baltimore Oriole.

Different wing pattern and all black head.

According to our bird book these guys don't come this far west.
I LOVE all their bright spring colors.

And now for something completely different...


Here's an update on the bathroom remodel progress...


Chuck got some bullnose tile to finish the top and edges of the tile.
He has laid all but about 10 of the tiles. He moved the heater up on the wall so that we can put in a longer vanity and have more usable space.
He's done a nice job.
There's only a little section on the floor and some small sections of wall by the door that remain to be tiled.
Then we'll put in the new vanity and sink.

Check out the rust on this old piece of plumbing from under the sink.

So... that's the scoop from our place...

(I have photos from the trip I need to upload - but they're on the computer at school - later this week.)

The keep saying the weather up here is not usual, but I don't know what is unusual about rain in Seattle in May. I think they are confused. You however are having weird weather. Loved all the colorful birds. The bathroom remodel looks fab. Can't wait to see Chuck's handiwork in person.

My mom loves her little birdies too! I need some stuff done in my house, when is Chuck available? It looks great!

I giggled when I saw your title, but not when I saw the pictures. I am sick of this weather and need some sunshine.

I was sooo sure I would bring the heat and sunshine with me, but alas it was not to be.
It has frozen every night I've been back!

Love the birds, some nice shots.

The bathroom is looking so nice! You must especially appreciate having your toilet back too.

Looking forward to the final shots.

I'm working on tile, is Chuck interested in a road trip? Free yogurt?
