FW: Elaine57 sent you a video: "Hummingbird"

I couldn’t figure out how to post my first video so I posted it on youtube.  Follow the link and you should see it.

I found the video button on my camera and just pointed it at my hummingbird feeder.  I couldn’t see if I was capturing anything.  Imagine my surprise when I got a hummingbird visiting each station!  At the end you can hear my birds tweeting.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

a few pictures

 

I’ve been busy getting my house clean so I haven’t posted for awhile.  I have had three weeks off from babysitting.  Next Monday I will be babysitting Aaron and Susannah as they will be tracked out for three weeks.  I have enjoyed the time off.  I’ve been getting up at 5:00 am and taking the dogs for a walk by 6.  It is still dark when we leave.  The temperature has dropped to the high 50’s or low 60’s.  It is so much nicer than the summer temperatures.  Scrubbing the house isn’t too exciting so I don’t have much to say.  I hope you like the pictures.

Murphy trip

http://picasaweb.google.com/elmcneill/MurphyTrip#

Here is just a sample of the pictures I took while we were in Murphy, NC.  Mom and Ray rented a house on the top and side of a mountain near Murphy. 

Scott and I had a good trip out to Murphy.  We were going to leave early on Friday, but Scott’s work detained us till 4:30 in the afternoon.  Since we had to leave so late, we had to stay over night near Asheville. 

Saturday morning we arrived near 9:30 and then we went to the local flea market with Mom and Ray.  We wandered around looking at all the various booths and their merchandise.  It was weird, but Mom and I didn’t find anything to buy.  Scott found a wallet.  His was very worn! 

We went to a fabulous restaurant and got ribs.  I took a picture of the place and it is in the picture link.  I haven’t had that good of ribs in a long time. 

We stayed two nights with Mom and Ray.  I totally enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the ever changing scenery.  It was totally clear on Sunday morning and then a major fog rolled in.  It was so dense and it came in so fast.  There was a hummingbird feeder on the deck so I was able to get a few pictures of the hummingbirds.  None of those turned out very well, so I didn’t post those.  I may post more pictures later.  I didn’t want to overwhelm you with all 130 pictures I took.  I am enjoying my new camera!

 

September 5th

Today we are leaving for Murphy, NC.  We are going to visit Mom and Ray in their mountain retreat.  Pixie and Buttons are there as well, so we should be getting new pictures of the two of them. 

 

Keep watch for the new pictures I will be posting! 

 

Hopefully, the house will do well with Hanna!

Labor Day

I wonder why the day after Labor Day it always seems to get colder.  Even here in Raleigh, this morning was only 60 degrees instead of the summer 70’s and 80’s.  There was a little bite to the wind as well.  Bear, Chloe, and I took our morning walk and it was quite dark and chilly.  After our walk, I took the garbage and recycling to the road as it was trash day.  Then, I took my tea out to the deck to enjoy a little quiet before my day got going full swing.  I got goosebumps sitting there!  My hummingbirds were enjoying their feeders.  I will try to put up a picture of the hummingbird later.  I need to download the picture. 

 

Today was Jack’s first day of pre-school!  I’m hoping he does well. 

 

Hope you enjoyed your Labor Day!  I finished making my Thanksgiving cards, so I had a profitable day and had a lot of fun too!
