Bluebird of Friendliness: March 2013
http://bluebirdoffriendliness.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small. Tuesday, March 26, 2013. Today was the first day that I went to my Tuesday class and it was still light out on my ride home, so I enjoyed my view of the river as we drove down Storrow Drive. I was not even consciously looking for birds, but got a good glimpse of a male red-breasted merganser. What an unexpected and fleeting thrill, and in beautiful plumage, too. Nice hairdo, buddy. Monday, March 18, 2013. Me: What do you think he's doing?

Bluebird of Friendliness: January 2011
http://bluebirdoffriendliness.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small. Saturday, January 15, 2011. We took Flash for a winter walk by the Charles River this afternoon. Lovely weather for it, too - overcast, but almost 40 degrees. Now that I have a pair of real snow-pants, I am so happy to go out and frolic in the snow. Flash is getting the hang of walking on snow, but he mostly wants to lie on it and look up at the trees against the sky. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Prospect: A Year in the Park. A little about me.

Bluebird of Friendliness: October 2009
http://bluebirdoffriendliness.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small. Monday, October 5, 2009. I took my little hatchling for an afternoon walk on this lovely fall day. I wanted to test out his new fancy stroller on our suburban streets. He really liked lying in its bassinet and watching the sky, trees, and birds whiz by. And for a mile-and-a-half walk, we saw some great birds. The osprey seemed out of place in our neighborhood, since we're nowhere near water. I'm so glad I looked up! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Bluebird of Friendliness: for the love of mushrooms
http://bluebirdoffriendliness.blogspot.com/2013/03/for-love-of-mushrooms.html
All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small. Sunday, March 17, 2013. For the love of mushrooms. Hi, my name is Leah, and I'm a mycophile. I love mushrooms. Eating them is such a rich experience - sweet, earthy, umami. My new interest in eating mushrooms is accompanied by a new interest in foraging them as well. My whole life I've been taught not to eat anything I find, especially not mushrooms and red berries. But you know what? Having already combed my neighborhood for berries and fru...

Bluebird of Friendliness: November 2009
http://bluebirdoffriendliness.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small. Friday, November 6, 2009. While the baby sleeps after his first round of shots and I listen idly to the Jeopardy! Teen Tournament, I figured I'd record some recent thoughts and events. We had one day of ladybug infestation. Clouds of them buzzing in the sunbeams, hundreds stuck to the side of the house. It wasn't just here, either; friends from all over mentioned the same phenomenon. It was kind of cool! I was out for a bike ride one afterno...

Bluebird of Friendliness: August 2011
http://bluebirdoffriendliness.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small. Tuesday, August 30, 2011. Far from the beach. Beach plums are a tasty sweet snack, but I find the skin to be very bitter. I imagine it's delicious sweetened and in jam form. Now if I can just figure out a simple way to take out the pits and salvage most of the fruit.I will be prepared next year!

Bluebird of Friendliness: April 2011
http://bluebirdoffriendliness.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small. Thursday, April 21, 2011. A few years ago I learned that the term for when the leaves start coming out is the "leaf-out." That simple little name tickles me every spring now. If you want to know more about the leaf-out, check out Signs of the Seasons. They're conducting a leaf-out study and you can participate. Sunday, April 17, 2011. From the book Weird New England. Not a lot of Viking artifacts left in Norumbega Park these days. In fac...
