This is what Dave was reading while I looked at herons!

Quick story time. First time visiting the Black Crowned Night Heron rookery (siege?) at Thames Street Park. It is truly awesome. Spent abt 20 minutes walking around while Dave read a book.

Dole Whip acquired! Cherry/lemon twist.

Had my first post op appt after my sinus surgery and all is going well. Dave's going to take me to Fell's Point to see the black crowned night herons tonight, as I've never been down there to see them on Thames. Also hoping to go to Patterson Park and Bmore Licks. 😊

Luna. The cats look prettiest in the bathroom with the skylight. They love the sink, to drink water from the faucet and request pets and pickups.

Do we know time gates are for Pride Night? #orioles

on the subject of “tarps off” at the ballpark I don’t think teams understand how much money they’d make from a *well advertised* “ladies night” or “girls night out” seating section. A baseball game where we’re only surrounded by other women could be so fun

Kevin's giggling is sending me. 😄

I need to know more about these cookies. KB seems really excited.

Day 4 of recovery has been less than stellar. Trying to focus on recovery and not stressing. I could use laughs, cat pics, words of encouragement.

I cannot believe two beautiful Raven portraits are still available!!

Also, so glad I got outside to see bee balm blooms in the native garden 2.0. And a bee on the coneflowers from last year. And does anyone know what the small orange and black butterfly is? #natives #nativegarden

Left the house for some fresh air, sunshine and birding on this summer solstice.

Love that Kevin is talking about how he's spending his time in LA. Reminds me of when Gary Thorne used to just talk about what he did in each city.

My five random things: The smell of lilacs Walking on freshly fallen snow Quiet moments in nature Staring at the stars outside of the city (dark skies) Lightning bugs Tell me five random things that you love (not people/pets).

Manifesting, as I've never seen one.

Someone needs to check Albernaz. Why is Basallo held to different standards than other starters on this team? I don't understand. First words are first words, I don't care if he pivoted.

My fitbit says I slept 58 min last night. I found it hard to sleep inclined and not being able to breathe. And there's construction outside our house right now, so... Also, still blown away by anesthesia. I woke up in recovery with an almost empty glass of ice water. Dave likened it to Memento.

Let's promote another cool guy who understands why Pride Night is important!

www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j... Cool guy!

My Grandma, who lived into her 90s, had several ailments in her final yrs. I remember one time when we were visiting her at the holidays she woke up middle of the night needing to goto the ER. Gma was delaying b/c she wanted to put on her skinny jeans. Made me so mad and sad at the same time.

He gets it. Baseball can be the jumping off point.

If you love Ravens and Baltimore, you should buy this lovely piece of art!

Awesome. Check it out, while you can?

He is a grouch, the same species as Oscar, but a different character

Been waiting for a call from the surgery center to know what time I'm scheduled tomorrow. Picked up my phone and said to Dave, "I wish they would call!" And my phone rang. Ahhh!!

OKAY thread of better pics (& more info) now! All of these are mounted on recycled/reclaimed matboard, and made with at least some recycled/reclaimed paper. In this post: the two cut-paper pieces still available. The Fledgling (#1), 4" x 5.75", $135; and Conquer, 4.5" x 6.75", $175

@dugoutradar.bsky.social will be checking here later on the BAL game! :)

Very gorgeous folk art raven portraits!! 😍

I love Rob Long. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.

It's true. I'm #attheballpark

🧡 🖤 ❤️

I hope Trey realizes most of the Orioles fanbase is tuning in and/or cheering him on tonight!! Much love to Trey!! 🧡 packing the yard for him would be amazing!!!

❤️

"Very gentlemanly thing to do" has entered orioles fan lexicon. There will be future fans of the orioles who will be confused by old-timers' use of this phrase.

My favorite part of all of this is how "Actually, a very gentlemanly thing to do," will become my favorite phrase

I’m really about to be telling folks how to sign “gay” all summer! I love this for me!

Sometimes I forget I followed this account and when the posts show up I read them optimisticly, like "Yes! The sun Will come up tomorrow!"

Hey Baltimore folks— do any of you have experience renting from Masterpiece Management? Asking for a colleague/friend. Thank you!!

New pizza place opened in Hampden at the old Falls Road Carryout place-Garibaldi's. I still can't taste (sinusitis) but the texture was nice and the mushrooms look good. Have to ask Dave how it tastes.

Can't remember if I asked before, but we need hotel recommendations or areas to stay in BOS, as we're headed to Fenway this season. #orioles

I have a bunch of concert tees I'd like to have made into a blanket or quilt. Would prefer to use local or small owned business over more popular online company. Anyone have quilter or etsy links for this? Thx. I'm in Baltimore, MD.

I will be keeping my eyes peeled for lovely bird art!! You should too!

Found juvenile ravens last night, while walking without my camera. Returned today and they were all on the same branch long enough for a photo. In general, they were making a racket and acting all clumsy and goofy. #birds

Anyone have experience with Chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps? I got a bad cold in Dec that never went away. Lost sense of smell/taste in March. Got diagnosed with the above. Scheduling surgery.

Love this new follow! It's how I found out tonight's game is ppd. www.mlb.com/orioles/ball...

Anyone feel like helping me pick 3-4 natives for my front yard/curbside garden plot? #nativeplants #nativegarden I need plants that will thrive and not die, and like sun and clay soil. herringrunnursery.bluewaterbaltimore.org/shop/sun-per...

This is good. If you're an #Orioles fan, read and let us know if you are also on this pain quest. And for how long. Me, since 2012.
