Please forgive the heavily stabilized video. The GoPro didn’t react well to being worn while I was walking and bounced around quite a bit.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and Piazza del Duomo in Milan at Night The world’s first shopping mall.😀 An amazing place I visited on a number of occasions during this trip. Also home to an amazing Leonardo exhibit. This is adjacent to the Piazza del Duomo and was filled with people and music each evening. A perfect place for passeggiata, and Italian evening stroll.

I was more than a bit envious the other day when I found out a good friend had picked up this gem of a kitchen appliance on a recent sale. While I have an ice cream bowl attachment for my KitchenAid mixer, this all-in-one unit brings a level of convenience that is completely ridiculous.
One big advantage is you don’t have to remember to freeze your mixing bowl ahead of time. Lack of memory and lack of space in my freezer makes it nearly impossible to mix up a batch on the spur of the moment. Oh to be so lucky to mix up the ingredients, throw it in the freezer and have a lovely dessert just an hour later.
Some ice cream makers are a bit loud, but this one is well below the level of conversation so it doesn’t require you to shout over it if you’re in the kitchen. You don’t even notice it in the next room until the timer alarm goes off telling you the batch is done.
While certainly not a need for everyone, if you entertain regularly or make up batches of ice cream to give away in the summer, this could be an excellent tool for you.

A Cooper’s Hawk (Accipiter cooperii) in the garden. A closer, head and shoulders shot.
This series of videos were taken on a particularly hot day hence the bees and hawk were both making great use of the birdbath. The hawk appears a bit annoyed when bees buzz by or try to land on them, but otherwise unperturbed by sharing the space.

A female Black-headed Grosbeak (Pheucticus melanocephalus) made an appearance over a few days here in the garden. I am guessing she was migrating north for the summer as grosbeaks are not a regular visitor.

A Cooper’s Hawk (Accipiter cooperii) in the garden again, so I’ll be sharing a series of video clips of its behaviors for those interested in raptors. This one appears to be a different hawk from previous videos as it looks much smaller at least to my eyes,
