Oh, fabulous. I just read that in my little village at my husband's voting location, the AfD got the most votes. 51,5% of eligible voters voted. Should I be comforted that 63% of my neighbors did not vote for them? That's not really the way my brain works.

Today at the quarry which has been the Wanderfalken Brutplatz for several years. We only saw one but are hopeful both adults are healthy and will go for it again this year.

Kaya and I waited patiently for my husband to vote this morning. Her last instruction to him on his way into the Rathaus: "Vote for the party who promises 'Küken für alle!'!!" "And hang on - 'RAThaus'?? Are there rats in there? Bring me one for lunch!"

English question: Do you hear/read sentences like "The oven needs cleaned" (without "to be") often? If so, where? I've heard of this before but it's not common usage in my circles. I'm reading a book in which it has come up several times (set mainly in Scotland). Thanks!

Oh no. Kaya looks adorable when she lies down briefly on her cushion, but what she's doing here is testing out a potential nest bowl. Spring is NOT in the air, Kaya. Please don't start with unfertilized egg-laying. I'm not ready for this!

Poor dear. I think it's been raining all night, and Jackie has been keeping her 3 eggs warm and dry. She's drenched!

Arrived today! Taking a short break from "The Memoirs of Cleopatra" to buddy read this one with my daughter. I need to get a head start because she reads at 10 times the speed I do. 😅
