After dropping Emily off at camp, Greg and I visited Antique Alley in New Hampshire. We came across a delightful store called The Copper House and this round, copper-plated bird feeder.
We brought it home and hung it outside. And then something amazing happened: Since only 1 bird can eat at a time, they actually line up – 5 or 6 birds in a line – and wait their turn.

It’s already provided hours of entertainment and fun!

We have two hawks living in our backyard. Every time I see them I’m completely amazed.

Depending on their mood, they fly onto the railing of our deck, sit on our chimney, or just hang out in the trees.

The other day, I spent the better part of 30 minutes watching one of them try to catch a squirrel (this time the squirrel won).

One more reason I enjoy working from home!
