  • I have a dozen different hobbies, but I was really into flashlights for a while too. I was into them enough that my wife asked me to stop buying more flashlights and lanterns. I didn’t stop though! I only stopped when I finally decided I had scratched that itch, have obtained what I want, and was bored. But now I have great flashlights in both of our cars, in my mom’s car, one at each exterior door of the house, one at the garage door, and a few lanterns in the closet. She very much appreciates the fruits of my labors now that I’m finished.

    They are nice birds. They’re really beautiful and fun to watch. We moved to a new area about 8 years ago that has them, so it’s always a treat when we see them. Unfortunately they’re very shy. If they even sense that you’re watching them, they fly away. I got pretty good at spying on them from inside. Over time, they became more accustomed to us and stopped being so skittish. Now we’re able to sit on the couch when one is at the feeder outside the window and watch it, as long as we don’t make any sudden movements.

    It’s nice being on the top floor, since you probably don’t need to worry about rats and squirrels. We have several feeders in the yard, but it’s a constant adventure trying to protect the food from squirrels, and keep the rats away. It’s worth it though, watching those birds brings me a lot of joy, and I’ll admit, the squirrels do too. Not so much the rats.
