Summer is great but very long in my current area of the world. <br />At first, I thought the hummingbirds were grasshoppers! How extraordinary! But the best has to be the TV watching cat! What a gem!<br />Please come and visit me at my history blog - It's about St. Nicholas; really good for restoring your faith in human beings (re what you wrote in your profile ;) I agree though, the animal world is a most special place to be...

His stay was brief, but I noticed the feeder was nearly empty... <br /><br />1 part sugar to 4 parts water to refill it. Hopefully he will bring others.Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603347619547454296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782911982900974876.post-25129170497611978482010-09-13T14:18:15.006-07:002010-09-13T14:18:15.006-07:00I have filled our hummingbird feeder.

If they don't like it, I will make a planter out of it... <br /><br />Phaedra- I would exchange part of our winters for part of everyone elses summers. Fair enough?<br /><br />But without the cold we wouldn't so appreciate the warmth of a fire. Without the heat of summer, we wouldn't enjoy a dip in the lake...Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603347619547454296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782911982900974876.post-47685307656235686822010-09-08T02:47:40.202-07:002010-09-08T02:47:40.202-07:00Whew!

LOL<br /><br />Glad to hear Tip is fine and pulled through without any further issues. Mystery ailments are the worst since you have no way of knowing the cause to prevent a reoccurance. <br /><br />I took our hummingbird feeder down over the weekend to put the windchime back up- two size 3 horseshoes that came off my mare. I'll be getting it put back up and another one too. I like seeing the little birds zipping around at mach 10. <br /><br />We also planted our lemon tree, (grown from a seed) in the front yard. It seems to be doing well and hopefully it won't be too long before it begins producing as well. I'll have to get pics of it up soon. Planted some apple seeds too that came from the apple I fed to Holly. We shall see where it goes.Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603347619547454296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782911982900974876.post-82121439547251228062010-09-06T13:45:34.554-07:002010-09-06T13:45:34.554-07:00Okay, so I will try again.

We cooled off here, TG, and are trying to get some stuff done that was put off because it was sooo frickin hot. We find froggies stuck to the hydrant handles. And, I do mean stuck.I have a mental image of you peeling froggie off the wall one sticky finger at a time!!!phaedra96https://www.blogger.com/profile/13073887491311158448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782911982900974876.post-45258173614814632822010-09-05T12:16:02.237-07:002010-09-05T12:16:02.237-07:00I just call 'em tree toads..

When I did yesterday, there he was, kinda made me jump a bit.<br /><br />Last night, when I was getting ready for bed, I had the door from my room to the porch open for the doggies and lo and behold, there the froggie was again, this time stuck to my bedroom wall. I scooped him up which wasn't easy and put him back out. I have already had a turtle in my bed, didn't really want a froggie hopping around there too!CharlesCityCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322605385748323962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782911982900974876.post-33407950412817576512010-09-05T04:13:09.698-07:002010-09-05T04:13:09.698-07:00Those frogs are adorable!!

It was truly grand!<br /><br />I occasionally have one of the wee froggies on one of the sliding glass doors. I love their little toes.
