It's a Great Day!

It's a beautiful day today. The sun is shining and the rain has stopped for 2 days now. My hanging pots of flowers are all getting ready to bloom now. The lawn has really grown and my husband is out mowing it early before it gets way to hot. We got a new hummingbird feeder and someone told us in the store that they had bought one and the orioles come and drink out of it. Well, they were right. We saw the most beautiful oriole yesterday morning and night coming to drink and he stays for a long time. I called the next door neighbor so she could look out the window and see it as we have never had one this close up before. A pair of hummingbirds fed all day too the last couple of days so we are sure happy we bought this particular one because it has little perches inbetween the flowers where the birds drink and they can sit and drink or sit and rest. It is fun to see a hummingbird sitting because you would never guess that they ever stop.

It's Been a Great Day

It has been a great day for me to get some work done around the house. I vacuumed and cleaned the stairway carpet outside and vacuumed the inside of the car. It really needed it, bad. Then I cleaned the bathrooms and swifter dusted all the floors. I made a good lunch and a great pork chop supper with mashed potatoes and gravy and vegetables. We had fresh sliced tomatoes that the neighbor brought over. They are so good this time of the year. I also went out and filled up the finch feeder as the goldfinch are returning again. We haven't seen many for a couple of weeks. They are so beautiful and have such a pretty song. It's fun to feel like you have accomplished something for a change after working hard all week on the job.
