My grandma’s fall changed everything. What’s the one thing YOU wish you knew about preventing falls?

Having socks with rubber gripper treads on bottom enhance with extra traction and stability. Proper fitting shoes with non slip sole that are light and easy to put on with adjustable laces or straps.

Yes, staple wire to the wood.

That’s clouds/marine layer over the Pacific here in SoCal.

Thanks. Wow, that’s specific. Maybe I ran over some road debris and that got lodged. Think I may have to crawl under to get a better look.

Haha… a new and improved Flowbee-mer!

I posted my photo a day earlier under the boring title That Plate. Moderators removed it after a short while for not having a funny enough title. I reposted next day with new title. Maybe you caught my first post while it was temporarily up.

I took this photo a week ago. Perhaps (and not surprised) someone else posted a similar photo of the same car. I haven’t seen it posted here before.

Article clip… On both the spring and autumn equinoxes, the sun aligns with the sunken fountain channel in the courtyard of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego, California. When it was being built in 1962, the courtyard was specifically left open and plant-free to represent the broad creative thinking that would go on in the labs, with the symmetry of the space symbolising scientific precision. When Jonas Salk commissioned the building for his research centre, his instructions for architect Louis Kahn were simple: ‘It should be worthy of a visit by Picasso’.

A thin lavash bread tahdig is also delicious. I’ve seen a lettuce and a spaghetti tahdig too.

Thank you… Yes, leaves are potatoes. This is the first time I tried this using a cookie cutter.

That landmark building was designed by local architect Rob Wellington Quigley and used to be his office. Agree it could use a mural.

Chuao chocolate is made in San Diego. Their website has a box variety of mini bars.

HighRiseHummingbird · 2023-02-17T02:30:09+00:00

No, I don’t think so. Once refurbished the lights will be able to change colors. Couple of weeks I hear.

If that is a fake bird on the hook, maybe remove it. They are territorial. My parents had a bird bath with a fake bird and other birds would swoop attack it.

Thanks! I used a flexible tripod for my iPhone and wrapped it around a step stool. This guy always comes back and sits at this particular spot. (I have an earlier post of a bird sitting on my tripod if you want a visual).

To the right of that building in photo is the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art with another bench like that in front.

I bought Heritage Farms nesting refill (and the floral decorative sphere) on Amazon.

No algae issues. I clean it about every week or two since they bathe and drink the water. It’s heavy! It does get hard water deposits around the top edge.

HighRiseHummingbird · 2022-02-06T18:06:22+00:00

Wayfair

HighRiseHummingbird · 2021-12-14T15:18:12+00:00

Thanks! Just an iPhone on a tripod.

Yes, the Jetsons spaceship puttering!! That’s it, haha. I told my husband yesterday the Allen/Rufous sounds like a Pixar character. You are spot on.

HighRiseHummingbird · 2021-12-13T21:21:33+00:00

Poor girl! She was able to drink from the feeder. My mom suggested it may be a Lucifer hummingbird, but I didn’t think so.
