My mom maintains a number of bird feeders, which attract the local wildlife. We get a lot of squirrels, but also a lot of dark-eyed juncos and house sparrows.

On the flashier end of the bird spectrum, we also get cardinals and bluejays, but I haven’t gotten a good shot of one yet.

I’d never had real (read: not instant) ramen before, so my old friend Ellie and I went to Santouka Ramen in Harvard Square so I could try it. 10/10, would recommend.
