I've heard this claim back in the 1980s, but reading the confession is still galling. Not as bad as Noxon sabotaging a peace plan in Vietnam to win his presidential election, but still galling. (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp84wXTpxr6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The camera doesn't do the view outside my window justice. That's the Garfield Monument in @lakeviewcemetery (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpztNvjAsFo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Forgot to post this earlier. These have been sitting in my refrigerator for a few weeks because I just couldn't bring myself to eat the last ever goodies from @fearsconfection . @mysterg911 and I had them this morning with coffee. I'm keeping the box. (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cptwxp7gJn9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is so cool! The photos aren't great because I had to take them at 4x so I wouldn't scare the #cardinals away, then cropped the hell out of the pics so the #birds were the main focus. Anyway, @mysterg911 put out disposable bread tins on our balcony months ago* to use as bird feeders. Since then, we've been attracting all kinds of feathered friends (and one VERY chubby squirrel we named Chonk). This morning, I spotted two cardinals perched on the seed tins! There's just the one male and female (a couple?) who were sitting there for a while before I took the pictures. I have no idea who or what they're waiting for as they seem to be done eating. And yes, that's @lakeviewcemetery in the background. *We can't have pers due to our allergies and our lease, so feeding the locals is the next-best thing.
