Rainy night here on Cape Cod, as the photo shows...(And yes, that's the photo I wanted... I was looking for the bleakness of it all...)
Juxtapose that pic with the fire and severe weather that are raking so many other parts of this country, and this post could go almost anywhere... We could discuss the good the rain is doing to our new lawn, or we could talk about the suffering of other folks, or we could even dip into the music of stuff like fire and rain...
But I'm just going to stick with...

Hi,Last time I posted, I gabbed about trying to bore a long hole through a substantial hunk of wood successfully without the drill bit wandering excessively... And again, you can check our woodworking links to see previous info on this sort of insanity relative to mounting feeders, birdhouses, platforms, etc...)
Well here we go again... Onward...
The project is to create a lobster trap buoy style pair of lamps... Let's take another gander at those snapshots and see if they tell most of the...

Hi,Well... Might as well 'drill' down on this subject while we're here: that of boring a hole. (I know I've touched on this with previous posts concerning woodworking, but as this topic does relate to stuff like mounting feeders, birdhouses, platforms, etc...), here we go...
So Mrs. CCA wants a lobster trap buoy style pair of lamps... No big deal, right?

Yup, thar she blows... It looks like Andrea is going to dump a bunch of water on the East Coast all the way up through New England... (http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2013/0606/Tropical-storm-Andrea-could-soak-entire-East-Coast-video) I heard one report that it might even turn into a Summer Nor' Easter' here on the Cape... oh goody... Once again, setting the birdies aside... Are you ready?

I was going to write a cute piece about the antics of the crows... the way they demand their snacks... the way they ruffle their wings in excitement or anger... the way they dunk their food. I was going to write that. But to be honest, my heart just isn't in it... No, society and politics permeate all...

Yeah, 'tis the season -- time to hook up an AC unit without killing yourself or someone else...
Some general thoughts...
First, re-check your measurements to make sure the unit will actually fit in your window. Next, suck it up and read and understand the directions that ship with the unit... Pay special attention to the part about safety... Now, look in the mirror... Are you physically up for the job? Be honest... Air conditions are heavy, unwieldy beasts.

First thing...Hope you're having a reflective Memorial Day Weekend... Countless Americans have suffered and countless more have sacrificed their lives so that you can watch your birds in peace... If you'd like to give back just a tiny bit, I'd suggest the Wounded Warriors Project. (You can read about their Better Business Bureau ratings here...)
Alright, on to less serious stuff... Do you remember when our backyard looked like this?
Well, no more!
We had the entire lawn covered in a fresh layer...
