Can't you just SMELL these roses.

It's finally turned cooler here at night.

I love sleeping with "Night Music"

sometimes it's Barred Owls

always crickets

frogs & some nights late ..we wake up

to the howling of coyotes..I love the sound

but scares me too.

School has started here and only two of my

six grandsons aren't old enough for school.

Wow, it makes it easier on mom's during the day.

I'm looking forward to long walks as the weather continues

to cool and the leaves begin to turn.

I'll be Autumn decorating starting Sept. 1st and

I plan to post some pictures

Time for bed, I'm up early weekdays now

Another Hummingbird Picture

I love this picture, I was sitting at the window seat in my"creating room" aka

the BIG MESS & there he was (she)..I had the camera right there, so I snapped

this pic. It's far away & thru the screen, but I love it!!

I don't know how folks get pics of a feeder full of hummers, my hummer family runs everyone off, even the chickadees~ He didn't even use to let his own wife get any food~guess he never learned to share.

Last night hubby & I went for an evening walk with our Hannah dog. One of the

horses at the stable came to the fence to visit & my dog got so jealous when she

saw me petting & cooing. Next time I told Rich he has to take a camera. Maybe

I'll get him to take a pic of my horse friend and me!

Hummingbird Pictures

I just had to share. I was out taking pictures

of some hand dids for eBay

&

I guess I was too close to the feeders, the hummers

kept flying around me.

I finally decided I'd best get THEIR pictures too

ENJOY

They are so fun, friendly & BOLD

Some facts about the "Dog days of August"

August is the time for a Hummingbird show, lots of hummers out there, the new crop of youngsters too. Keep your feeders full as lots will pass on their way south.

American Goldfinch are just beginning to raise their babes. They like to nest as the bull thistle produces seeds. They line their nests with it's down & it's seed is the major source of food for their babies!!

Look for the Perseid Meteor Shower from 8/11 to 8/13

find the spot in your area & see 10-30 meteors an hour
