Eli finds the warmest places in the house, sometimes going from vent to vent to see which one is the best nap location.

Gulls having breakfast on President's Day!
Pigeons, cardinals, morning doves, sparrows, woodpeckers, crackles, finches, squirrels and the occasional crow are the norm at our bird feeder, but last night I put out some stale cookies and bread and the seagulls visited today!

William Penn's Hat
My school sent me to Philadelphia to an AP workshop this weekend and I was very excited that from my hotel room (on the 24th floor) I had a view of both William Penn's statue on top of Philadelphia's City Hall and the PSFS building!
One of my favorite classes in college was an architecture history class where I learned so many interesting facts about architecture throughout the world and those facts have stayed with me. In particular, I remembered that at one time architects didn't build their buildings taller than the top of William Penn's hat and that the PSFS building was the first skyscraper built in the International style in the U.S. It is like a file cabinet for businessmen, modern and organized with lovely red neon letter lights.
While I was enjoying all of the modern sights of Philadelphia, I was also enjoying the historic, classic sights too. I was quite taken with the inside of an elevator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Perelman Building.

Our Christmas Tree
Silver, with lights included, our little tree sparkles and shines. Adorned with action figures, glass birds, homemade ornaments from friends and family, and other fun decorations, I wish it could stay up all year!
