Butterflies are free

I cleaned off the hillside to the backyard this spring and planted a butterfly/hummingbird mix of wildflowers. The came up good and have hummingbirds and butterflies all over them. Haven't got and hummingbird pictures on the flowers yet, but did get some of the butterflies.

Leaping lizard

I finally finished my lizard effigy on the pump house. Also finished another ring, this time a 1/2 dollar and you can still read the writing inside. Dennis and I going out to Montana the 2 weeks of Sept to pop in and see my old friend Jerry. Going to take in the west at it's best. Can't wait. I am so lucky we have the best sunsets too.

More birds

Today I've had 8 to 10 hummingbirds at her feeder today. I've filled it up 4 times today, with 2 or 3 at a time at the feeder. Finished my cedar handrail going upstairs.

Indepence Day

Been on vacation this week and haven't got much done because it's rained every day for the last 10 days. Oh well. Caught my first decent smallmouth. Tomato plant doing good. Have had an unusual number of hummingbirds this year, 6 or 8 at a time. I get so lost watching them, Mom would really love it.
