If you have Amazon Prime and haven't seen Deadwood, do yourself a favor and watch it

If you have Amazon Prime and haven't seen Deadwood, do yourself a favor and watch it

Even if you don't care for westerns and/or excessive "colorful" language, Deadwood is simply a joy to watch. It's very Shakespearean in tone and in fact much of the dialog is written in iambic pentameter. The characters are richly three-dimensional and wonderfully portrayed by a cast that includes Ian McShane, Timothy Olyphant and Anna Gunn. 

Watch it, the only disappointment is that it ends prematurely after just three seasons?


A new robin's nest is coming together about 6 feet from where I'm sitting

A new robin's nest is coming together about 6 feet from where I'm sitting

Earlier this morning I saw a couple of robins collecting nesting material in the yard but I saw them fly around the end of the house toward the big honey locust tree. Then I was sitting at the table taking a break from yard work, drinking some coffee and reading and a robin landed on the railing with a beakful of nest material. After looking around for a minute it popped up into a planter right in front of me and I realized there was a nest coming together. ?
