1/11: eggrolls & relief

Chris and I have wanted to try making our own eggrolls for a long time, but we just never pushed ourselves to move the desire into action--until tonight, when we had home-made eggrolls for dinner. It's always a good feeling when something makes its way from a wish to a real thing, and the eggrolls were tasty, too.

And earlier today I sighed a breath of relief. We've had a huge flock of red-winged blackbirds in the area recently, and I was worried that their sheer numbers (and noise) would scare away the beloved bluebirds. Today the blackbirds weren't around and the bluebirds came out. I saw six of them when I walked down the hill to get the mail.
