Super Saints!

This isn't one of my photos today. This was was made by Heinz Kluetmeier of Sports Illustrated. It shows the Saints' Tracy Porter returning an interception of a Peyton Manning pass (That's Manning on his butt in the background.) for a game-sealing touchdown as my New Orleans Saints won their first Super Bowl last night.

I was nine years old when the Saints played their first season of football in 1967, so I've been waiting a long time for this one. For most of those years, it was hard to be a Saints fan. But I remained loyal; I kept the Saints license plate on the front of my vehicles all these years. I endured the ribbing during the lean years, so I think I've earned the right to puff out my chest a little now that my team finally owns a Lombardi Trophy.

Congratulations to the World Champion New Orleans Saints!

Nuthatch

This nuthatch was feeding at my homemade peanut butter feeder this afternoon. This feeder was made by simply drilling some 1" diameter holes about 3/4" deep into piece of wood from my firewood pile. Fill the holes with crunchy peanut butter, hang it near a window, and watch the show. (Click on photo to enlarge.)
