Oct. 16th, 2004 15:25why did i not think of doing this sooner? well, i dimly recall thinking of it, but i never followed through. now i have a bird feeder right outside my window. the birds found it right away; almost all the usual culprits have been there -- house finches, sparrows, dark juncos, towhees, chicadees. i might move the goldfinch niger seed feeder from the kitchen window to mine as well. and shadow has just seen the birds. *heh*.
aside from that i've been looking at ancient coins much of the day. online, that is. and reading related history. weird; the longer i'm staying in the "new world" the more i get interested in ancient things. i'd really like to have an old roman coin, i think. what would really be fun would be to buy a small lot of uncleaned, unsorted coins, and clean them myself.
in that spirit, i'll go pawnshop visiting now, to look at the local offerings of musical instruments. guitar, probably. can't sing along with flute or recorder. guitar is sorta large to cart around though. but i did learn beginning acoustic guitar when i was 17, so that'sa plus point. i wonder how grotty the local pawn shops are... maybe i'll check the sole actual music store out first.
