lisa, yea that's our deck. the place is a rental, and oh so magical. hopefully the owner decides to sell one day. and yea??_ waaaay better than vegas. almost all of vegas, outside of the strip is pretty run down.
that's awesome that your m-i-l is/was into birds. ornithology seems like a fun hobby. one of my favorite things about it is that it gets you outside and tuned in to mother nature. i may just stick with chickadee-ology though. 😛 little buggers weigh half an ounce yet are legends in their own minds.
caprigoral, rain photos could make for some nice black and whites perhaps! photography is a lot of fun. i'm a complete amateur myself.
and xy, shameful as it is to say??_ they are just humble cell phone photos. definitely some filters on them! but muddled down a lot. you lose too much detail with filters at full power, imo.

used to be that you could only hear the highway that's a couple blocks away. keeping the windows open sounds nice now. real nice.

you're sounding like my mother in law!! 😄
she knows every bird type out there. She has had her BIG YEAR (bird speak for the bird watchers) this year after going to Canada.
I bet living in the mountains is awesome!!! all those birds. You can take a picture of all of them too. That's what mother in law does, she has bought a very very expensive camera for her bird watching hobbies.click to expand

today has been an extraordinarily odd day for communication.
number one??_ unknown phone number belonging to a woman calling me asking how i know her husband and wanted to know why he's calling me. LOL. Firstly, I've had no other unrecognized number call me, nor have I been talking to her husband, whom I later found out is a good friend and neighbor of my sister's. I have in fact met him twice, but never said more than a few sentences to him and definitely didn't give him my number. My boyfriend and I had a good laugh over it. This strange lady and I had an entire text conversation. I wouldn't have given her the time of day if her husband wasn't a good friend of my sister's and brother-in-law's. Poor guy. Still a little miffed about the interrogation i just endured. my sis and bil are out of the country right now??_ i'm dying to get the scoop, or at least have a good laugh??_ again??_ over it.
number two??_ somehow was coerced into texting my ex to invite him to our groups annual snowboarding trip. i did in fact want to contact him so we could bury the past. at least that was my hopes. my bf said i should probably do it in person. an in person opportunity could be several months away, maybe. not that i'm really sweating it. i just still feel guilty over our last interaction when i totally snubbed him. accidental douche move, if that makes any sense. lol

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, butttttt...
I guess my thought of late, that I can't share out loud to anyone because it's just too soon in general, is I think I've realized I want to marry him.
And I've never wanted to marry anyone. I didn't even think I really believed in marriage for myself.
He's away and out of reach (overseas for the next couple weeks), so the space to evaluate has made me realize a lot. And yeah. I think he's definitely the one.
Hope this isn't weird to throw into this thread.... 😉
Happy birthday cappies. It's our season...
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. 🙂

your current boyfriend that you've been with awhile is so very open and kind. I hope his heart doesn't get stepped on. I feel you still have unresolved feelings for your ex while being with your current love.
just something i notice. Can't help it. You put it out there, so i couldn't help.
would it hurt your feelings if you saw your ex with a new woman??

i love my bf more than i thought possible. he makes me happier than i thought was ever meant for me. i hope to marry him and have a family with him. all that said??_ there's just no room for anyone else.
as for my bf's feelings??_ sharing any of this with him is done out of respect. he's done the same for me. he has an ex that was at one point his best friend. they were still somewhat working with each other up until she moved a few months ago. everyone in his life knows her well. she definitely still had feelings for him. everyone knew it. some of the things she's done to stay close to him since he and i have been together, in my opinion, were invasive and subtly meddlesome, but i didn't really worry about it. i know my bf and i know his feelings towards her. if i don't know his feelings for me by now, then i'm a damn idiot. likewise, he knows every thought i've had about my ex since he and i started dating over a year ago. my bf and i are really open with each other and at the same time??_ very protective of one another's feelings. you've gotta have nothing to hide, lots of trust, loyalty and love to accomplish that. so unless i've got something really wrong between he and i??_ there aren't any trampled feelings.
