It’s a good thing that I take a lot
of pictures even though I use only a small number of them. I can’t help myself since I have this
wonderful camera given to me by nurse/photographer son. I am in love with the Canon S100! It’s light and easy to use and takes good
pictures—unless, of course, I am taking a picture through a dusty window after
a week of rain storms and high winds.
That’s how I took these Red Winged Blackbird photos.
So I apologize for the not so great
photos from a great camera, but I just had to show you the activity in our backyard,
which is a good thing! The birds love
the garden and crave the suet. To top
that off, DH babies his birdies by buying them top of the line bird feed. I’m talking about the song bird stuff. They sit for 20 minutes lapping it up while I
take pictures (like this woodpecker). The
Hummingbirds, thinking this must be the place to stop, buzz in and “hang out”
for a few minutes!
Top it all off with
the wild flowers beyond the back fence which are amazing and you have paradise!
It’s a good thing to have some
knitting content in my blog so--the pink fold over mitts are finished and I’m
moving on with the afghan and lemon yellow ankle socks. Knitting’s good.
It’s a good thing that I’m a freak
about my trees both in front and in back of our house, because there are those
who would destroy them given half a chance!
I fought them off when they said the trees needed to be cut back (or
totally down) in the past but I had no defense last week when fireman son found
carpenter ants running across our roof where a tree limb hung. We traced the critters back to three limbs in
a tree and the next thing I knew both the exterminator and tree doctor were
cutting and spraying.
If my tree dies
I’m suing!! I’m suing son and husband
first, then the tree doctor who actually said to me, “Aw you have lots of other
trees out here. It wouldn’t matter if
you lost this one.”
Some people are really irritating, but life is good anyway!!
