Is that a hummingbird in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

Superhubby has one day off and this is it. So I am on the internet while he is sewing cornhole bags. We need to remember how to spend time together. Some people (myself included) have a hard time becoming a wife after being a mother for so long. I am learning, or I should say relearning how to be someone other than mommy.
This morning I woke up to SH yelling from the garage. There was a hummingbird stuck in the garage and it was too scared to stop and realize the two big open 9 foot doors would be a good place to fly toward. I sat in the garage and kept the cat from getting the snack he had dreamed of while SH came up with a plan to get the bird out. Nothing worked until the poor thing finally just got too tired, landed on a coffee can and SH picked up can and all and took it outside. The poor thing was still too tired to fly so SH stayed with it for a few minutes until it got its breath back and was ready to fly off. I should have gotten my camera but I was too worried about the cat getting it if I left long enough to get it. The cat had just finished its breakfast and was getting excited about a little mid morning snack. I love my hummingbirds and I have quite a few of them so I do try to keep the cat away.
I hope to spend the rest of today helping SH clean the basement and maybe getting the bedroom finished. Who knew you could stuff that many clothes behind a bed, Iwas just about ready to go buy new clothes because I thought I had none left. I guess I can use that money for my property taxes that are due in a few weeks.

I often wonder how Hubby and I will get along after our youngest (12) grows up and leaves the nest. We do really nothing together now...not sure when that happeened and now it is hard to find things in common. I know they are there somewhere...
