Hummers

Morning everyone, 

Well, here we are in August already. Snake is still in the tree hole, comes out part way and goes back in again for a while. Chickens are all doing just fine, getting between 3 to5 eggs a day now. Our 5 hens are doing just fine. 

Dogs are all doing great now, keeping them inside because this year is BAD for ticks. I am back to grooming them also. Vince helps by blow drying them and I do the washing and grooming once dry. 

The new upper deck is nice, and we are thinking of adding a porch cover over it to help protect it. 

They say we have coyotes and foxes and bears around us, so far all we have seen was a black bear running up the side of our driveway to the woods in back of our house. Vince seen it I was inside and missed it. Neighbors up the way say they hear the coyotes howling and have seen them. So far, we have not. Vince said he saw a fox since we have been here. 

We are still going through a few boxes that are left and getting rid of lots of extra stuff. Getting more and more settled in. Still wishing for a smaller home and level yard though. 

We have hummers this year that are unreal, I am making a double batch of food for them, and it is gone in less than 3 days. Some days we are cleaning and filling the bird feeder twice a day. This summer has been crazy with them, love it. Tried to get a pic of them, but just too fast for me. There are 3 hummers sitting on the feeder and more around flying and in weeping willow next to porch. Truly God's little jewels. 

I have just hung a fresh mixture for them. They had many babies this year. It is a feeding frenzy of a morning and late evening and throughout the day every day.

Love and Prayers,
