The site and a couple next door all dealing with waste have been cleared for housing. Will these new properties be described as a rubbish location?
One week ago, Super Bowl Sunday, W9 drove us to a park near the Los Angeles Zoo. A Summer Tanager sighting had been reported.
In LA you gauge distances by time. Not by miles. Then factor in things like "Rush Hour" (ha ha. Rush Hour is any day any time) and if Dodger Stadium has a game and the typical ….stalled cars, a mattress in the fast lane, stuff like that. The park was not close but do-able.
Gratefully we've had some rain. The ground was soggy. My well-worn boots had so many holes in the sole and I put off the decision to repair them or toss them. But not the decision to wear them one more time.
We were there to get the rare tanager.
W9 walks over to me and says look at my shoes. And I do. They look really wet. And I glance at my tired trusty boots. They are soaked but I don't feel the wet and cold just yet, but I will. And soon. We continue to stomp around fighting the urge to complain about the wet and cold like the weasels we are but “man up” when we find another birder who has been sitting patiently scanning the trees with her binoculars (BTW which abbreviation do you prefer? Bins or Binocs?). She is blond and wears a red jacket. I am sure if she had a dog I could tell you his/her name and how old they are and what their favorite toy is... but her name escapes me.
Today we tried again. W9 and I had new waterproof footwear on. We had better light and new energy. We struck up a quick bond with Amir, also looking for the colorful rare bird. Marylou and daughter Emma joined us. And the blond in red was there too. I saw her pointing and gesturing to Amir who had his camera raised and ready. She is the reason I am posting this photo today. She didn't have a camera but said she could look at ebird postings and find the photo or the link to the photo we post. And then she could show her friends this beautiful, incredible, and rare visitor.
I couldn't let her down.
Buildings exclusively offered on my backstreets tour of Winnipeg and none other! The brown building with the prominent rear fire escape has a Serta Mattress sign on the front door. City tax assessors classify the building as a warehouse. The front of the rusted metal sided building will be shown in a future post.
Shell and Autumn loved the new canopy bed.
"I think we could sit here and talk ALL night, don't you, Autumn?" Shell asked.
"I think so, too, Shell! The canopy is so magical! I love lace! And the coverlet- oh! It's so dainty!"
"What's this I hear about talking all night, you two?!" I laughed because little bears are always talking. "I think talking through naptime will be enough today!"
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday!
Earlier in the year, I bought a bunch of "stuff" at the auction we frequent. There were pieces of a little canopy bed, made by The House of Miniatures that I thought was worth a try putting back together. Let me just say that miniatures in ANY sense of the word are difficult and fiddly things! But I learned a lot and managed it! Ken was terrified to see me drilling with the tiniest bit he had!
The original tiny mattress and canopy were an old and dirty fabric. I happened to have one little bit of a vintage fabric that I thought was perfect for the mattress cover, and managed to make a pillow with the remainder. The tiny coverlet here is a dainty vintage lady's handkerchief, and the canopy is a vintage doily.

We’ve had a vegan, natural latex mattress for the last seven years and in the past few years, we weren’t that happy with it. After doing some research, we decided to replace it with one from Avocado because the reviews were terrific (www.avocadogreenmattress.com). They’re also organic, all natural, handmade in the USA, and the company is carbon negative plus gives 1% back to environmental nonprofits.
Even more, they give you a one year trial (costing you nothing if you decide it’s not for you) and a 25 year warranty.
Our first impression of it is very good. Hazel was the first to sleep on it and gave her approval, which means a lot to us because she can be quite the tough critic!
hilarious and awkward moment this morning: already 80 degrees at 7 a.m. and sticking to the alleys for shade while walking the dogs - I hear someone say "good morning" - not sure where the voice was coming from or if it was intended for me. Then I see a sleeper sofa under a carport - a man under some sheets - it was like he set up his bedroom outside - complete with nightstand. He tried to guess the breeds of our 3 dogs and acted like this was a perfectly normal social interaction. Just when you've think you've seen it all....

This company, founded in 1926, still exists but manufactures its mattresses only in BC. Tax Assessment information suggests that the building is owned by CNR railroad and is located on "contaminated soil." It is taxed as a "warehouse."

Not much comfort in those mattresses after long days in the cane fields.
