Hummingbird Nest

Can you believe that I have a real hummingbird nest right in the tree in front of the house where I can see it? It is very small but Dad was able to capture a picture of it and the mommy was in it at the time! I have a feeder hanging in front of my kitchen window and the mommy would drink from that first and then fly over the house to feed her baby. I don't know how many eggs are in there but they have either one or two. The other day this little hummingbird was fighting with a dove to keep it away from her nest. It was the funniest thing to see this tiny bird dive bombing a dove that is way bigger than her. The dove's nest was above hers. Boy, where is the video camera when you need it?

Here are some more pictures, although not mine, they accurately show what I am viewing from my front door.

A Blast From The Past

While Dad and I were at a Regional Meeting this past week, we saw a very old Wal Mart store that looked like it was from the 60's. I took these pictures with my cell phone because I had to show it to you. We went into the store and were totally awed by the cleanliness of the place and the exact order everything was in. Aisle after aisle, nothing was out of place. The manager was walking through with his ear-phone and was checking everything out. I felt sorry for any employee who did not clean up. Just wanted to share that "blast" with you.

Well...Mother's Day has arrived. Mother is happy, for she received two lovely floral arrangements yesterday from Suzanne and Stephanie. Here are some pictures. Today she sat by the phone and got some more calls. Yippee! It's a beautiful day with temperatures in the 80's with the sun shining. Opa is with us at home for the day, and all is well. Hope all of you, especially our three daughters and two daughter-in-laws, are also having a wonderful Mother's Day too!
