Thanks, Kathy.

It’s pretty bad around here. Restrictions all around me. And the price of water is outrageous.

Birds, oh yes, Mr. Hummer in a blaze of color, absolutely gorgeous.

He swoops in humming to beat the band. I mixed up some hummer food but they are not interested... so I will forget that, there are plenty of flowers around for them.

MrsSR hollers at me to put sling back on each night.
