Hello, all!
It's 8:02 by my computer clock, and I need to get breakfast and coffee.
I've got nothing on the calendar today as far as places to go our things to do.

...at least, that's what I heard, and when I opened up the weather widget in the corner and looked at it, it showed the photo above.
I went out on the patio and took the plants off of the patio wall and put them on the ground....

And watered the plants. Now, I need to go and get one of the rings I sold ready for shipping--but first I need to get the lady's address.
Tonight before I go to bed, I need to start a load of laundry--but that's not for a while,...

It's Saturday, August 16th, and 7:49 by my computer clock.

This was hours ago, but then other things started needing to be dealt with, so I'm posting it now.
I discovered, when I went to make hummingbird food, that I did not have any sugar.
So off to the...

I watered the plants, and made hummingbird food. The reason that I made two batches (see picture) is that the hummingbird feeder that I got from Temu is way bigger than I thought it would be.(for what it holds). I'm...

My grandmother used to have Columbia Lilies growing along the irrigation ditch. As you drive into the driveway at her house, that is what you see. The lovely and striking golden orange and red speckled flower. It is a favorite...

Our iridescent feathered friend, the hummingbird, cannot resist many herb bushes' vibrant colors and sweet smells. All of the herbs mentioned enjoy full sun and well-drained soil. I've compiled a list of 12 herbs that these birds...

Most of us feel that hummingbirds are lovely creatures and would love to see them in the spring and summer months. Why do you think your yard never has any of these birds fluttering around? It could be your choice of flowers. Too...

Most of us enjoy seeing the hummingbird in our yards. Many set up a feeder somewhere in the yard to be sure the bird will make an appearance. But there are some areas that aren't good for a feeder. Here is the list:

...for the hummingbirds. Not the mayo, of course, but I went to make hummingbird food and I was out of sugar.
So, I tromped off to Safeway (the grocery store) and got two bags. I also got some mayonnaise, not for the...

Hubby's cousin who lives in Michigan lives on a lake. He puts out three hummingbird feeders and they buzz around there all day. It looks like hundreds of them.
I know we have them occasionally. Where I lived before we did...

Was sitting out on the garden bench earlier before the rains came. The hummingbirds didn't seem to mind at all. Zooming past me as if I wasn't even there. I will take some nectar with me next time and see what happens. They have...

I have been busy and not paying attention much to the yard. Waiting for rain that did not come.
It hit me last night that the birdbath was dry, and also that the places wild things usually find water are likely dry as well.
When...

I bought a "puddler" (the blue flower) and a swing for the hummingbirds to sit on, and the package came today.

Snapped this one...

Today is the second day we have rain. More coming tomorrow. I don't mind, no flooding here thankfully.
The hummingbirds enjoy the rain. Snapped this from inside the patio doors and actually got two in one photo. They were hanging...

Sheesh. I went to the store, and totally filled my personal cart (even though I didn't get too much more than what was on my list, which wasn't much), dragged it home, and no sooner did I start putting things away, than Angel...
