there are zillions of robins around lately
finally figured out why my camera's interval shooting wasn't working
(it was user error, of course)

we had a great little ride today

mule notes, mmxxi-i-xxi



Cora was pretty muddy from yesterday's rain so
we did about an hour of grooming and hoof-picking and maybe a minute of riding.
It felt good.

garden notes, mmxxi-i-xix

we think this little critter is a Bell's vireo
it was avoiding the rain and hunting for bugs in the bush outside the kitchen window

(update, 1/9/22: we now think this was an orange-crowned warbler, not a Bell's vireo)
