The birds stayed away while I was outside, but one little hummer perched on a dead branch high up in a tree. After a long time he flew down and drank out of the feeder. Then he flew back up to the same branch. I think he's guarding the feeder. Keeping it all for himself.
Josh got this ghostly photo of a hummingbird a few days ago. Can you find the bird?
Female oriole-she's after the little dish of jam that Josh put in that planter. :) |
Yesterday morning I woke up with a swollen throat and achy muscles. Things gradually went downhill as I developed a whopper of a fever, so I cancelled my physical therapy appointment and spent most of the day in bed. At about 10:30 last night I realized that my fever was gone. Feeling better today, but my throat is still a little sore. I'm wondering if I'll go to my PT appointment tomorrow. I really dislike going to appointments, and my neck is gradually improving (SLOWLY! It's been almost 6 weeks!) I guess I'll see how I'm doing in the morning.
Got my desk cleared off...sorta. I've been enjoying using it today to make a few cards. I switched out the chair. That WWII swivel chair had a lot of character, but it was kind of a wrestling match to get it to do what I wanted. Notice the lamp. That's lamp #3 in my little bedroom. I don't use the overhead light at all. It casts a glaring light. Light's a big deal to me, and I like it close to what I'm looking at. The bulb in this little lamp casts a bluish light. That's a no-no. I'll have to get some new bulbs. What a weirdo, right?
A couple of cute grandkid pics... Thatchy poo and his big sisters.
I think I forgot to post Hazel's kindergarten graduation pictures. Bad grandma!
And there's Sully and Della. |
I HIGHLY recommend it! Nabeel does a wonderful job of showing us his upbringing as a Muslim in a loving home and community. He meets a young Christian man (David Wood) in college and they spend several years becoming close brother-like friends, as well as debating the pros and cons of their belief systems. I came out of the experience knowing a lot more about Islam and Christianity. He treats the subject with humor and with a passion to know the truth, no matter what. I couldn't put it down! (He died of cancer in 2017, I believe, but not before writing several books that will bless a whole lot of us. A brilliant young man. He was part of Ravi Zacharias' ministry and some of his videos are still available on YouTube.)
Okay. Long enough! God bless you, every one!
Shalom!
