		<description><![CDATA[No updates lately &#8230; keep thinking I am going to upgrade my WordPress and since I backed up my files a week ago, uh, haven&#8217;t wanted to post anything that I might lose if the upgrade goes south &#8212; which the last one I did, did.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m telling you, this man has an eye and a touch. See what he can do with humble carrots? He can work such magic on your portrait, too. Or, you could purchase one of the magnificent works he has already captured.

		<title>I UN-did it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Little Brown Bird goes free.
She&#8217;d spent a couple of days/nights in the cage. It was killing me to have her confined, but she was so weak initially and if she was loose, death-by-raccoon, or cat, was certain.
But yesterday morning she was lively. Chirping (for the first time) and leaping back and forth and back and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Four &amp; Twenty Blackbirds: some good things about the season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kim and Lucy were over to the house last night, and we had an amazing meal&#8211;which deliciously accommodated all our menu proclivities: no wheat, garlic, onion, beets, beans, or spicy-hot items.
 

Herb-rubbed blackened salmon, heirloom tomatoes with a fennel-thyme sauce, good ole rice, and then vanilla bean ice cream which appeared out of nowhere (from [...]]]></description>

		<title>I did it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Little Brown Bird is in a cage. I am NOT happy about this.

I am so unhappy about this. I&#8217;m not certain how well I will sleep tonight. But it was cage, or certain death. So, she&#8217;s in a cage.
Before the cage, she was sunning on the deck, until a raccoon came prowling, then pouncing. Human [...]]]></description>

		<title>what I still cannot do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Little Brown Bird is still around.
