If you see either of these two orioles in the U.S., you’re in Way South Texas. Both nonmigratory, they are only here and farther south in Mexico.
The Altamira Oriole.
And the rarer and more skittish Audubon’s Oriole.
Manage to be in the right place at the right time and get to see both on the same day.
Day eight. The cabinets arrived.
It took them just half a day to install them.
We think the cabinet makers outdid themselves!
They kind of remind me of the velociraptors in Jurassic Park. They’re always talking amongst themselves. Have to wonder what they’re up to.
…until it actually looks like progress.
But that hasn’t happened yet.
Lots of work has been done. The floor has been completed. There is a protective path taped to it. The ¾ round edge trim has been painted, but not put in, so it still looks unfinished. Large appliances have been moved here and there, but are not back in place. Even with all the work done, the house still looks like this.
It’s a process. Trust the process.
