We have little friends....

We have been enjoying our table outside for our meals. I just want to enjoy our pretty weather while we can. We can watch the birds and deer from our deck.

We have 2 particular little friends....little hummingbirds. We have 2 hummingbird feeders. I didn't think we had any little birds around. But low and behold...we do! I have learned that hummingbirds don't play well together. One will come to eat and the other will come and chase it! They are quite fun to watch.
Gordon is gone to Chicago this week....so let the party begin! hehe....That will teach him to leave for a week :o) Who's bringing the chips? Actually, it's pretty lonely around here when he's gone. I asked him to bring me a t-shirt home from Chicago. He just scrunched up his nose and said 'That means I have to go shopping and you know how much I enjoy that!' I tried to get him to get me one from Venzuela, but you'd have thought I had asked him to have his teeth pulled! lol Needless to say, I didn't get one :o(

I am trying to collect t-shirts for a t-shirt quilt. I have been buying some from thrift stores for some samples for my quilting business, but I would like to make one that has some meaning to me or to someone. I've checked the kids closets, but they took their good ones! What's with that??

Not much else this week. We made more salsa. We had a rain storm yesterday...leftovers from the lastest hurrican....can't even remember the name of this one.

I love your hummingbirds! When I was little my Grandma Andersen used to have hummingbird feeders; she told us the birdies were "Santa's Birds" and that they report back to Santa on whether we were naughty or nice. We then, of course, always felt motivated to be extra nice while we were at her house!

Nice job on the colors Mom. :) So Gordon didn't get you a Venezuela quilt huh? Well I hope he brings you an Oprah shirt from Chicago! That, or aren't they famous for their pizzas? Well anyway, I like the hummingbird pictures. I'm amazed you caught a picture of one sitting. I don't think I've ever seen one sitting!
