🐦🖍 My kid drew a blue jay in the winter and a cardinal in the summer.
Home automation: I’ve been sitting here next to a window with mostly-closed blinds reading for a while, & a minute or two ago I realized it was getting dark. A few seconds later, the lamp in the corner behind me turned on because I’d set it to turn on a few minutes before sunset.
📚 Found this book @slcl this morning — published just a couple weeks ago! Seems relevant to my interests.
🎵 “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” performed by @punchbrothers, sung by @christhile? Yes please, and thank you.

I’ve finished my first bag of coffee for the year. Since the beginning of the pandemic I’ve been through 44 bags of coffee beans in varying sizes and brands (and 1 can of Folgers). Nearly 73 pounds in total, 48 pounds of which was Cameron’s Breakfast Blend.
There were some things I expected from the new AppleTV+ version of Macbeth. The Office’s Chris Finch was not on that list.
