New Toy

Although I had a number of chores around the house I could have done today, I said "What the heck, there's always tomorrow" and went out and bought a new toy instead.  Actually, after all the negotiating, test riding, more negotiating, signing papers, getting insurance, etc, it took me most of the day to get done.  It's a 2002 Harley Davidson Road King.  As Sunnye would say, "It's what I've always wanted..."

New Living room

As you know, we have been working on our home. The living room is almost done. Here are a few pictures.

Here is our brown recliner loveseat and rust colored sofa. We have hopsack colored walls with chocolate drapes. The carpet is beautiful.

Here is the entertainment corner.

Here is the ottoman that goes with the couch. The curio cabinet is in the corner, have not found what went in there yet. See our guard dog "Clyde".

Monday Night Football is on!

Guard Hummingbird

We have a hummingbird who thinks he owns the feeder and chases off any other hummingbirds who get anywhere near it.  We were watching him for a long time today while he chased other birds, sometimes all the way up into the trees across the road, and then returned immediately to his "guard" position on top of the feeder hanger.  Sunnye went out to the shed and got another feeder.  We cleaned the bugs out of it, filled it up and hung it about 10 feet from the other one.  When we came back in and watched, we saw him trying to guard BOTH feeders.  He would fly back and forth between them chasing off any other hummingbirds.  I told Sunnye he was probably feeling stressed now that he has two feeders to guard!

Yes, that's the highlight of our day.  Is that sad or what?
