The Long Awaited Hummingbird Feeder

Now will the hummingbirds know that there is nectar coming out from the little red tip. This is where it will sit so I can see any visitors that come by. I really don't like birds flying past my head as I was frightened as a little girl when a bird was flying around in our house and my parents went crazy trying to get rid of the bird. And that was a long time ago.

Now back to baking for our Bible study group tomorrow morning. I just made April's recipe for Frosted Lemon Bars. Hope the group likes them, I sure did. But because they have nuts in them, I will make chocolate chip cookies without nuts for those that are allergic to tree nuts.

Ready to Paint

Hummingbird feeder is all carved and ready to paint. Won't get to it till later as the electrician is here installing the new light fixtures in the kitchen [my painting studio].

It took over 2 hours just to carve the "straw" on the roof. Probably another 1-1/2hours to do the planking on the house itself.

Rain Gauge

My rain gauge registered 3-1/2 inches from yesterday and more is forecast for today. Its very soggy out there. The turtle really has a load to hold up.

Holy Rainbarrels

We are having a downpour. Luckily it started when I was on my way home from running a few errands. I probably should have rainbarrels to store this great water and use on the plants.

Memorial Day

Going to Lee and Tom's for a cookout. They have an outdoor deep fryer and plan on frying some fish for them and chicken for me.
Yesterday I spent a couple of hours working on the hummingbird feeder and it is starting to take shape. Started carving in the stones at the bottom and also the windows.

Bloomin' Hibiscus!

I just love these flowers, its a shame that each bloom only lasts for one day.

Haiku

While listening to the final Kathy & Judy show, I heard the following haiku that made me chuckle. Hope it brings a smile to your face. The accompanying picture is one I bought last year; its a photo of fall leaves floating on the water.

I like feta cheese
