Hello There, Tuesday 👋
Another sunny morning. 2 days in a row, yay. Tomorrow will be as wellnsupposedly, then Thursday will be thunderstorm. Hopefully it won’t caused new wildfires.
The other day a Chickadee visited my garden. For months, it was always House Sparrows, Crows and Black-billed Magpie. Then once a while, Blue Jay. So when a chickadee stopped by even more a mere second, it was a joy 😍
And more joy? I’ve been cooking a lot of Indonesian food this “Summer”, satisfying my cravings 😁
