I love the summer nights...

Today SH and I went hunting for car parts. The car I bought last year for SH to fix up for me is finally in the process of getting worked on so today I spent a lot of time looking at things like this.


I know you all want a copy of this to hang in your good living room to make it a little more classy, I'll get some 8x10's ready for you. Every good living room should have hubcaps or at least a picture of them.



When we got home SH, DD and my niece went berry picking while I made home made ice cream. I also spent a little bit of time watching my hummingbirds, which is a favorite past time for me on summer evenings. Tonight when the birds go to sleep I am going to scrub and refill the feeder. They are emptying it every day.

Notice the two fighting in the background? These birds spend as much time keeping the other birds away from the feeder as they do eating.

Now I must go, I think a second bowl of ice cream is waiting on me.

Do you have the entire hummingbird population in your yard? WOW! You've got a bunch of them!

I think you should get spinners! Not only would it be hysterical, but it'd probably embarrass your kids, and what fun is life if you can't embarrass your kids a little?

How was the ice cream? It is my favorite thing to eat and I eat a lot of it in the summer!

My kids would love the hummingbirds!

I totally agree with you comment on my blog. How they can possibly blame the dog owner is beyond me. It is just so friggin sad.

Awww, man, Blogger is being a twit again. I typed out a whole comment and THEY took too long to complete my request so I lost it. Anyhoo...

DON'T TELL ME YOU AND SH COULD DO IT FOR $50 WHEN I JUST PAID ABOUT TEN TIMES THAT AMOUNT...BWAHAHAHA! Just another thing that bites about being a widow! And since I don't see you and SH rushing to MN anytime soon to come to my rescue, I guess I have no choice but to pay the ridiculous amount the auto shop guys charge me. Oh well. Anyhoo...

How's the reunion? How is DD? Tell her hi and I miss her. I'm gonna try to find some myspace time.
