It's A Minimum Day

I was at the grocery store the other day and remember I was out of tea.  I usually use tea bags, it is so much easier and less messy.  But I DO have a giant lucite tea thing (I think it is an ingenuiTEA, I'm borrowing it from my son) that uses  loose tea.  Being cheap, I thought I would get a box of Albertson's loose tea, and a big box of Albertson's tea bags, and compare them.

Heated up the water, found the box of loose tea is actually a small box of tea bags.  How clever of them to place it on the shelf right next to the name brand of loose tea!


Finally got a pic of a bird on the bird bath!!

Yes, it is blurry.  It was surprisingly un-light outside.  Telephoto, no flash.


"Trolley" going by.

I was waiting for a geocacher to help him find a cache, but he didn't show.


I'm painting a couple of gnomes.

But will the paint last in the fiery furnace of Our Mr. Sun?


I hear Jerry G. Bishop passed away Sunday.  A very nice man.  I learned he was something of a legend in Chicago as host of the monster movies on television there;
