I LOVE a book that makes me react OUT LOUD. That's sheer joy, that is - and rare! I'm so glad you're finding that.

Now I feel like I really ought to finish um, something, what with it being A Day Of Productivity and all. But... we'll see. California is so cold right now it's giving me ALL THE EXCUSES to make special friends with the couch and blankets and books. Meanwhile, I'm terrible at raptors too; we either have a sharp-shinned or an American kestrel - either way it's wee but fierce looking and makes a lot of alarming shrilling noises while staring fixedly at the bird feeder...

I woke up to a snow day today, so my plan is to Become One With The Couch. I have a pile of books and my podcasts and the tv remote and a pile of blankets, a bunch of snacks, a ton of yarn and a loud cat: this is the recipe for a good Leila day!

The sharp-shinned is pretty new to us—amazing how even such a small raptor can look so dang ferocious. That beak!! Those long sultry legs!!
