Hummingbirds and an Ace like no other

Tweet

Today I did a few things. I went to work, continued making friends with my fellow classmates in training, joked a lot with the remotely based trainer. During my whole hour! of lunch, I decided to be productive. I finally checked out the Ace Hardware near my work. It's family owned, and when Home Depot came to town they bought up several small stores in the strip mall (including a hobby shop) and joined them all together to form one big store that has everything from model airplanes to baby chicks. I bought a new screwdriver, some lithium grease for the front door rekeying project, some monofiliment and bulldog clips for paper hanging, and a hummingbird feeder. Not just any feeder either, but a pretty copper and glass thing that's actually built halfway well. The nectar I bought with it comes from my own city. Coming home, I helped the partner get the rolltop desk inside, she fixed the front screen door lock with the grease and some judicious smacking, and we hung the feeder. I had fun going to that odd, eclectic Ace. And I think I'll have fun watching the birds!
