| I Think We're Going to Need a Bigger Feeder Posted: 02 Mar 2012 11:03 AM PST
 In the photos, you can see some of the ducks running toward the camera and the other feeders, where there were an additional eight or so ducks gobbling down some food. We get this "duck convention" at least twice a day now, with more coming all the time. Usually it is 20 + ducks at the morning and evening feedings, with a few stragglers flying in throughout the day.  This is in addition to the plethora of other birds and squirrels that filter in throughout the day. Oh, and let's not forget the Starlings, who have just recently re-discovered our yard and remind me of yet another classic movie: The Birds. Friday, March 2, 2012Have a fun weekend. What are you doing this weekend? Alex and I are trying this new restaurant (jerk chicken!) and planning our summer family vacation (narrowing down the choices!). I love planning vacations; Alex hates it. Every relationship I know seems to have a planner and a fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants person. (Which are you?) Anyway, here are a few great posts from around the web...Gold tomatoes. What? Jamie's coolest cinemagraph yet. A hair bow. I bow down. This relationship book looks both funny and sad. A man walks all day to create snow art. Cute riders on the subway. If you're in Chicago next weekend, go to Dose! Stuffed animals based on kids' drawings. NYC made of paper. Listening to this adorable band. And, finally, thank you to the Huffington Post for spreading the word about weaning-related depression. I was thrilled to be included after writing my personal story. (Photo by Ruth Orkin) Parisian wedges  Jordan posted about these peep-toe wedge sandals this week, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about them. Since you walk everywhere in New York, I usually wear sneakers or flats, but wedges make your legs look longer, your silhouette slimmer, and your posture somehow straighter (don't you always seem to walk more gracefully in heels?). I ordered the green pair and am looking forward to a more feminine spring:) Thanks, Jordan!(Photos by Jordan and Paul) Thursday, March 1, 2012Reflections     My mom says that, even as she gets older, she always thinks of herself as a young girl. She says she sometimes looks in the mirror and is surprised to see a 60-year-old woman. This portrait series by Tom Hussey captures how we remain ourselves, even as our bodies age.(Thanks, @mommaruthsays) Wednesday, February 29, 2012Toby's almost two  Toby is just a few months away from turning two, and he's gearing up like a champ. He's been nailing the whining, fussing and general malaise that comes with being two years old. The word "no" is his motto, and, through his eyes, everything is either the worst or the absolute worst. Here, Toby gets carried to the playground (since naturally he didn't want to ride in his stroller), but was distraught because he wanted Mommy to carry him, not Daddy!!!!!!Alex says he wants to write a biography of Toby's year called "A Portrait of Courage." It's so hard to be a baby! Keeps making me laugh out loud. Top Wallpapers Top Backgrounds
