Call for Prompts

dialecticdreamer has posted today's theme as "Oh, no! Not another learning experience!" courtesy of mama_kestrel.  Leave prompts, get ficlets!

Also, more of the sponsored material from previous days is starting to get posted, so if you haven't visited the blog recently then do that now.  Look for the "Update" posts that list thumbnails for completed stories and the day's theme.  New stories are scattered between them.

Birdfeeding

Today is partly sunny and cold.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a flock of sparrows, several mourning doves, and a male cardinal.  Earlier four fox squirrels were cavorting around the forest garden.  They're fun to watch when they're that active, especially interacting with each other.  :D 

Also, I posted in gardening today.  I'd forgotten all about that community until someone else mentioned it.  So if you're into gardening too, please drop by there and post or comment.

Best use of a single firecracker ever

Awesome video.  My inner 13-year-old boy is all asquee.  :D
