~ August ....

..... break.

Cripe!  It looks like I took an "August Break" without even trying ... or wanting ... to.

What the heck is up with that?

It's not like I haven't visited your blogs .... I have.

It's not like I have been in a funk .... I haven't been.

It's not like I have no ideas .... heck, I've got tons!!!

So, what gives?

Must be the heat and humidity of July just wiped me out clear through August.

This was just one hot and humid summer for the records.

The a/c was running 24/7 for quite some time.

In fact, it is back on and I am not a happy camper.

I am so ready for Fall.

 

With that said ....

do you remember my sad rejection from the hummingbirds?

Yes, they refuse to visit.

I took the feeder down and replaced it with a finch feeder.

Well ...

to my delight ...

they appear to be much more sociable.

I won't bombard you with tons of photos at once.

I'll just give you one peek at one of the visitors

who appears to be quite friendly

and photogenic.

I think she/he is overwhelmed with the smorgasbord! 

So, there ya have it.

I finally have visitors.

And now ... to head over to Nancy at "A Rural Journal"

and play along with "Random 5 Friday".

 

                                         1.  How tall are you?   I'm 5'4" and shrinking.  Hey, it happens!        

                                         2.  A few years back I had lasik surgery on one eye only.

                                              My right eye.   I have scar tissue on my left eye

                                              due to ....

                                         3.  ....shingles which I had about 10 years ago.

                                              It.Was.Awful.

                                              It.Was.Painful.

                                              I hope none of you ever have to experience it.

                                        4.  I used to be bi-lingual. 

                                             Sadly, I've forgotten about 50% of my French-Canadian language.

                                             In grammar school we had classes in English in the morning

                                             and then classes in French in the afternoon.   When home, my parents

                                             spoke to us in French.   C'est la vie!!

                                        5.  I hated high school until my Senior year .... then it was okay. 

                                             Mostly because I cut classes a lot (not proud of that now).  

                                             And because my personality changed ... and I started liking myself.
