I built this "Little Free Art Gallery" for my wife a few years ago. She's turned into a prolific artist over the years and creates way more art than our house can handle, and she's run out of friends to gift them to. So now she can give her art away to the neighborhood.

A brown wooden enclosure, about 3 feet tall by 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep, with a gray roof, and a big transparent door on the front. Inside sits a green and yellow swirled hand-painted vase which can be seen through the door. There is a sign on top of the door that reads "Welcome to my Little Free Art Gallery". There are two smaller signs on the bottom of the door which read "Do you like this?" and "You can have it".

    I don't know how, but Lilac is still holding out on us. I can tell she's getting more uncomfortable by the day. And the kittens are really kicking around in there. Last night we thought we noticed a few minor contractions, but it was probably just her body reacting to all the kitten activity. We are on high alert. But as the saying goes, a watched pregnant cat never delivers.

    Video of an older Charlie Chaplin conducting an orchestra. I believe his fly is zipped, his shoes are not tied together and he's not doing that pancake bit Yes he composed this and many others.

    @flexghost I watched the Sparks documentary on a flight this week. It was quite enjoyable.

    @flexghost I thought it was entertaining and had some funny moments. I had heard of them before, but I didn't know a lot about them, so it was interesting to watch.

    Probably won’t cover as extensively unless things get interesting, but ’s / trial is back on today w/ continued selection.

    A was quickly dismissed at the start. She was among the 7 already selected, she said she was very worried that despite the fact the court ruled to keep jurors’ name secret, she would still be exposed & targeted.

    @Nonilex @MerelyAHut @Dodo_sipping I don't think you can post too many rescued baby squirrel videos.

    The view underneath my desk at the very moment. They basically chill with me all day, only leaving to eat, use the kitty box, or chew on things in my office that they shouldn't be chewing on.

    Reminder to anyone who lives where it's cold right now: if birds visit your garden (or balcony, yard, whatever), please make sure they have fresh liquid water. It can be very hard for them to stay hydrated when it freezes.

    @RolloTreadway I am very worried about the hummingbirds who come to my feeder every day. It has been so cold that the nectar freezes within minutes of putting it out there. I think today it will get warm enough that it might stay liquid for a while.

    I hesitate to post this pic because I don't want to break the internet 🙂

    He fell asleep in my lap like this last night. It was great for him but not so good for a middle-aged guy sitting directly on the floor, unable to move for about an hour because he's trapped under the cutest kitten in the world.
