2026-05-19 23:41Today was pretty fun!
Slept in. Had some omelettes for brunch.
We had gotten invited on a little day trip. Blair's boss picked us up around noon and we drove out, out, into the woods where a part of her family owns a huge plot of land. There was a log cabin on it, a cottage, an old barn, and this huge prairie that has been stripped, burned, and re-planted to resemble its original condition. It was all situated on the top of a bluff, and the view was beautiful.
Anyway, we were there because the relative works as part of a raptor conservation group, and one of their duties is to scale the cliffs down to the nest box where there were new baby falcons, remove the chicks from the nest and bring them up, and place bands on their legs. It was a pretty amazing thing to behold. This man repelling off the bluff while the parent falcons scream and swoop.
It didn't take long. We got to touch and hold the little chicks, although the majority of this privilege went to the two little girls that were along with us (of course, kids are afforded the coolest experiences, haha).
My allergies are doing alright. I've been taking pills and my crazy reaction the cedarwood incense was easily dealt with, fortunately.
Tomorrow, I work. Thursday we're going to clean the apartment and, if the weather holds, finally go out there and do Blair's graduation photos. Friday, if all goes well, we'll go see The Mandalorian and Grogu.
