There were animal bikes at the Tour de Fat! Six-seater snake skeleton and bat bike, yay!

Also, two-person butterfly bikes. Pretty!

Having a good time in the bike pit This bike had off-center wheels, so the rider goes up and down as they ride around in the bike pit. This also gives you a glimpse of my Tour de Fat costume. Someone also complimented me on the pennyfarthing necklace, which was given to me by LM.

Homemade hummingbird feeder Hopefully Emma will be able to sit in the window and watch hummingbirds, if this feeder actually attracts them. I adapted a chicken watering device by building a plastic cover for it, and then used a plant hanger that I'd learned how to make from an Instructables. After I finished this, I read that hummingbirds are more attracted to yellow flowers...so I may have to make a few more modifications.

Hummingbird feeder close-up Looks like a nice place to eat, eh, hummers? As I was casting about for what to do about (nontoxic, easy to clean) flowers, it occurred to me that I've got this great stash of reflective materials, AND a flower-shaped punch! Brilliant!

Sprouts The swiss chard is coming up, along with the lettuce and mustard greens. Apparently I didn't need to use as many seeds as I did. The catgrass (wheatgrass) is also starting to sprout, so my cat will hopefully be a bit more happy soon.
