What does it take to get me to take the time to do a post to this blog?  Hmmmmm??? Apparently it is our four hummingbirds disappearing.    We had filled two feeders.  One at the sunporch location, and the other one outside my kitchen window.   I was so happy to see the hummingbirds busily licking up the nectar.  Since there is a wild roddie next to the feed out the kitchen window, I got to see them perch in that bush.  Two of them sat side by side the other day.  Awesome.  We refilled the fedders and again saw activity and then, as if by magic, they were gone.  So sad..........  The bluebirds rejected the blue bird house this year. Frankly, I can't say as I blame them.  Now we have no hummingbirds.  So much for that kind of amusement.  Instead, I have focused on cleaning this pig sty up.  It is a monumental task.  All I can do is keep pluggin away at it. 

I still need to get my plants potted up.  I have the basil finished and now am trying to figure out what we own that is big enough to grow 6 tomato plants.  So far, we are thinking 10 gallon buckets.  Yes, it will be a pleasant site on the patio. lol Ideas from you all would be appreciated.

I have been spending a bit of time on ebay, grabbing up the stuff Morgan desires for her new baby's nursery.  Actually I have done pretty well so far.  I think she is pleased.  Her shower is this weekend.  Don't know much about it other than what time I should be there.  I imagine it will be fun.

Hank's puppy is growing like a weed.  Her name is Zoe and she seems to be pretty intelligent.  She knows me to be the treat person.  lol  Grandma's do that, right?  Wig and I take her to the vet this week for her last shot.  Hank takes her down to the pond where she is becoming more and more fearless.  She goes into the water headfirst now.  PU!!!!!!!!!!  The combination of dog odor and pond scum is too much!  Hence, a bath was in order today.  She does very well with that too.  Hank does very well with cleaning the tub after she is done.  lol

Hope this finds you all well and happy.

What a nice surprise! Glad to hear all is well in Summerville. Nothing new in O-town. We just keep plugging away. Take Care and have fun at the baby shower.

So good to hear from you again! A granddog sounds like fun, but just wait until you hold that baby! There's nothing like it!
We have had a busy spring. Got back 2 weeks ago from a river cruise in Holland and Belgium. Beautiful countries, great food (too good!), and good friends to travel with. Just got back today from visiting Susan in DC. I miss having her in Pittsburgh.
It's been so wet that I have nothing planted. If you get your tomatoes into buckets, you will be way ahead of me!
