My 16-year-old son is taking his driving test right now. So nervous! He’ll be fine, though, he’s a great driver. 😬🥹

Coco jumped in the basket of clean bedding but I can’t bring myself to be mad about it. 🥰

Starlings have invaded my feeders the last few days, so I’m getting tons of pics. They devour suet. They really are beautiful .

Forgot to post about the manatees we saw in Three Sisters Springs. We even saw a baby manatee! They come in from the Gulf from Dec - Feb because the springs are 72° year round. Absolutely incredible.

New bird! This is a Harris’s Sparrow! I’ve never seen one before. He’s extremely cute. Looks more like a Cardinal than a sparrow. He didn’t land on my feeder—I’m glad I caught him! 😍

Omggggggggg, three new birds at my feeders today! Maybe the cold is good for something. Brown thrasher, starling and American sparrow (different than the dozens of house sparrows in my yard). Look at these beautiful biiiirbs!

I will grudgingly admit that it’s beautiful. First big snowfall of the season here in Kansas City. We had a couple of dustings prior to this, but nothing serious. ❄️ #KC #KansasCity #snow

Happy New Year to all my peeps. I love this meme so much I share it every year—it reminds me of my boys. 🖤 I hope 2024 is kinder and gentler to all of us. ✨

It’s a hard-knock life for Coco.

Hadn’t really watched this because it’s not my thing, but when they brought out an entire movie with a secondary version featuring an performer? Renewed Max Watched it IMMEDIATELY! It was cute, but mostly I am chuffed that they did this! Accessibility for all, yes! ✨🩷🙌🏻

Last night we checked out Holiday Light and Magic in Bonner Springs. It’s a mile-long drive-thru light display. It was cute! None of these are as awesome as Christmas in the Park at Longview Lake, but they had some really cute lights that made me chuckle. (My pics didn’t turn out because it was dark, raining and we were moving.)

Usually I re-read “A Christmas Carol” every December. This year I'm listening to Keith Morrison read it in his Dateline voice and it is absolutely fan-freaking-tastic.

My super old and blind cat Rowdy loves to hang out on the second story porch, but he’s become so skinny he can fit through the railings. He has significant balance issues these days, and when he sticks his head and ENTIRE upper body through, I worry that one wrong move and he’d tumble head first to his death. I stopped letting him go
out there because I was so worried. Saw this on Tik Tok, decided to try it. Haven’t stopped cackling since. 🤣

My cat squeezing out between the vertical rails but can’t go out really far anymore thanks to the horizontal wooden spoon in his harness stopping him.

This little Carolina wren gets a 10/10 for his acrobatic routine this afternoon. 🤣

Coco agrees that it’s definitely sweater weather! Brrrrr.

One of Coco’s numerous nicknames is “Coco Puff”, or just “Puff”, so when she’s all stretched out on her pillow living the good life, I think “Coco has such a rough life.” So that morphed into Rough Puff. Or Ruff Puff, if you will. 🤣

This Cardinal is a very distinguished gentleman.

He’s such a round floofy birb! Straight out of Angry Birds, is he not?!

@maddad Haha! Do you live on the West coast? I’ve never seen one in person! We have regular blue jays and they are little jerks but I love them. And no Cardinals?! I guess I didn’t realize they aren’t out there! Wow!

Visited a dear friend in Lawrence, Kansas today and she is a squirrel whisperer. She puts out pecans, peanuts, and almonds for her neighborhood squirrels and they are all so sweet and courageous. Here’s one eating a nut right outside her back door on the porch.

Another high pain day, so just a pretty short late afternoon walk.
