~2 Bee or Not~ :-)

There you see documentation of 2 hummers.. Is that not

kewl? I looked and looked at that photo wondering WHY

did I take it.. THEN I spotted the one up on the right...

The top right one is the female. They have been having

the best time out there with that feeder AND are VERY

protective of it..The male is moreso than the female..
They had flown off and I saw first one bee or wasp or

what ever that is, that Ive killed 4 of inside here, land

on their feeder. Almost instantly the male is there, he

hovers for a bit, circles, and then zooms in at the bees

till they leave! Bees don't give up that easily :-)
Penny must have mixed up a good batch this time cuz

this battle of the 2 bees and the 2 hummers went on

for quite a long time.. It really was fun to watch them.

She changes the water sometimes twice a week , it

depends how many bugs crawl up inside it and end up

floating inside that feeder. I sure have enjoyed it,

was worth every penny of the 6.98 I paid for it.. Just

like my cheapie birdbath.. Worth a million.. :-)
I have been looking at these sunflowers and they are

SO heavy and bent over that there is just no way any

of the birds could get to those seeds.. I saw the gold

finch yesterday again too.. but I'm just so not used to

Pennys camera it takes me longer to get it ready to

take pictures :-) But what I had thought of doing was

to get another birdbath. for up here by the sunflowers

and as they get ready cut them off and lay them in the

empty birdbath ! THAT would work! Ive got 3 or 4 more

sunflowers over by the hum feeder too.. so the birds

will hopefully have some nice fresh seeds AND THEN

maybe I can get a picture of that gold finch :-) See?
Plan of ATTACK :-)
Look at that tail.. isnt that just great?

Today it just does NOT know what it wants to do.. One

minute the sun is shining bright, the next its so dark

the yard light almost comes on.. Its been so cool this

week it feels like fall when I sit in the doorway, you

can almost feel it in the air, Ive even seen leaves out

there already.. This big maple here on the west side

will be so pretty again.. It was last year.


It soon will be a year that I moved into this place.. The

time has gone so fast.. Maybe cuz it really HAS been

a very stressful one.. Seems there was just one thing

after the other.. This year is almost over and I just

hope nothing else gets thrown at me and I can coast

on to next year with out any additional problems.. The

TV and things I need are NOT stressful. be nice to

have but in time I will get them replaced...Its the big

stuff like the rent issues... I DONT want to carry that

over to next year...

Well what I need to carry NOW is some lunch over to

the table and EAT :-) Penny made some great sandwich

spread and on that good pumpernickle bread, Its gonna

be good.. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted for

supper last nite, that or the leftover meatloaf.. Guess

what won? The meatloaf of course. I ate that with some

soda crackers and watched Cash Cab.. That guy that

drives the cab is the same one that narrates my other

favorite show, Deadliest Catch.. So I had good company

with my supper last nite.. That means its time for my

GORGEOUS WEEBLE warning, "I shall return!" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv ya and Thanks !
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you Friend..

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again..
