Rain and Humming Birds
I was going to take pictures of Shannon’s Fall Garden but it hasn’t stopped raining enough for me to do so.
I surprised Shannon with a Humming Bird Feeder. We have been wanting to get one for months now and Shannon has even seen a few fly around the back yard. I got one at the Ace Hardware Saturday and it was on sale. I put it on the kitchen window with a cool suction cup hanger that sticks right to the glass of the window. I went inside to see if it was in the correct spot and if I should move it up. While I stood there trying to decide if it should move up or over a humming bird flew right up and started in on the nectar! It wasn’t even up for 5 minutes yet!
It appears to be the same little female humming bird that is feeding. We will hopefully get more humming birds next Spring.
If it stops raining long enough for the sun to come out I’ll take pictures of Shannon’s Fall Garden. He got everything planted in two long beds and it only took him two days to do it.
Fall Garden
Shannon bought a ton of plants to put into a new Fall garden area he plans to dig up on Sunday. There will be all sorts of good stuff (if it grows). Cabbage, Broccoli, hot pepper plants (not for me!), and other decorative neat looking stuff. I’ll take pictures and add them to the ol’ blog this weekend.
Additions to the blog
I’ve added some cool stuff to the old blog. All the research for the other web sites is paying off because I’m finding some very helpful plugins for my own blog. I’ve added a very easy to use Photo Gallery tool. It is so easy to upload the pictures now and it make the thumbnails automatically. I’ll be uploading more photos now that it’s much easier to do. Plus you can still click on any of the photo thumbnails and it will open an enlarged version with the photos caption.
I’ve taken some Summer time pictures of the garden. We have herbs, herbs, and more herbs. You can only eat so much herbs and Shannon planted a bunch of them! Just go to the Photos tab at the top of the page and you will see the Album with all the Summer pictures.
