Good Morning everyone!

We’ve made it to another Friday. And this one is extra special because it’s also payday — not that I’ll see much of said pay once everyone with hand held out get’s their cut 🙁 Oh well, that’s what makes the world go around.

Nothing is on tap for this weekend. Just same old stuff of cleaning, clothes washing, dog grooming and bird cage cleaning. Anyone want to volunteer for any of these tasks?? No?? Well gee whiz! Guess that means I’ll have to do it all myself again! Bummer!

I do want to get going on my writing project. I’ve had some ideas floating around that I want to begin putting down on paper to see how they flow. I may ask you all for input on which piece might be best to submit.

If you haven’t checked out Colin’s blog lately, you should. He has some great photos up of his lap with Lance in his photo albums. I have to admit that I had to do some searching for them, but they are there.

I’ve had a different species of humming bird coming to my feeders lately. It is larger than the ruby-throated ones that are common to the area and is a mossy green rather than the irridescent of the ruby-throats. I think it’s probably a rufous hummingbird as what research I’ve been able to find indicates that they do stray from their normal territories on occasion. With it being as dry as it is in the west, I would imagine that’s why we’re seeing some here in the east. They are described as fiesty which definitely describes this one’s attitude. If I haven’t filled the feeders lately, it chit-chit-chit’s at me through the window of the office. It’s run off the ruby-throats that vied for the two feeders hanging from the window, so I may have to hang one of them further away so they don’t get starved out.  I did get a couple of photos of it, but they are not great quality — I need to wash the window :P.

Well, got to run! Time to do some work.

Love to all,

Margaret
