Anhydrous Wit

Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

NSFW?

When I have free time at work, I try to make goofing off look productive -- or, at least, horticulture related.  Today, I've been browsing through a copy of Sunset magazine's Western Garden Book then looking up plants online.  Sometimes, I look to see if one of our usual two vendors carries a particular plant.  I usually use the scientific names, but one vendor focuses more on the common names.  Neither source carries Amaryllis belladonna, but I dare not search for the plant's common name, at least not using a work computer:  Naked Lady Lily.

Giving the Boss the Bird

There is entirely too much nature around my office these days.  First was the bear, then a snake.  This morning, I walked into the office and heard what sounds like a couple of birds (or an adult bird & at least one chick) singing in the storeroom.  (Well, until I started typing this.  They've suddenly gone silent.)  The room has a door to the outside, so it should be easy enough to open it and let them fly out (unless it's a nestful that suddenly appeared overnight), but I'd really like to know how they got in there in the first place.
