    Once I was telling someone about an award I won at work and he said, "You didn't win it, you earned it." Same to you Klunick. Organizations don't give out money for nothing.

    I cleaned out a storage room so... no, I really didn't deserve it. Even told my boss that. He said that I was "part of the process" so that is why I was included with the rest of my officemates. Really only 3 out of the 5 of us did the bulk of the work and deserved it. The other person did some labels for the project so she really didn't deserve anything either in my opinion. Made me feel like I was part of the "everyone gets a trophy" mentality and I hate that.

    Mass Audubon has given the green light to start feeding the birds again! There has been a mysterious bird illness in the Middle Atlantic states, and we were asked to take down our feeders as a preventative measure a month or two ago. We've been feeding the birds here for about 35 years, and I felt like such a bad, unreliable friend when my birds would show up and there was no food for them.

    Rosa, Good news. I'll have to check here in MD as I shut down the bird baths as well....Hoping it is better here, now. enjoy the birds. We had several goldfinches on the cone flower. I did keep out the hummingbird feeder.

    I finally figured out the clips mystery! I kind of did it again, only this time I wrote "FB clips." It was a reminder to order some spare clips for my Fitbit Inspire, since I wear it clipped to my clothing instead of on my wrist, and the clips tend to break after a bit. I've gone ahead and ordered them so I don't have to write any more perplexing little notes to myself, at least on that particular topic, lol. The vines still need to be clipped.
