Hello

I SAW THE HUMMINGBIRDS!!
Two of them came to my feeder!!
I know spring is here now. I only have one feeder
because in the past I had about 5 feeders and those
crazy birds would go nuts!! Attacking each other like they
were part of out 2 party system
I also found some showy orchid's They havent bloomed yet
so I will be keeping an eye on them
I love spring!!

My ex was highly allergic to any kind of bees. I shad to learn to give him the shots but had I known then what I do now thebees coild have had him. I have two.brothers who are also allergic. Learning to give shots helped when I came here sunce my dad was on insulin and my sister who was,a cna at the time wasn't allowed to give him his shots and my youngest never lesrned how. I gave my ex insulin for a long time before he left. I haven't had to take them myself since my metformin is still working Looks like we might see some storms this afternoon. Had to leave my windows open last night since it was so warm.

Hello

I hate yellow jackets!!
I am so afraid of them when I am hiking
I was attacked one year far away from my house
I was stung 6 times and it affected me in a bad way
I now carry one of those epipens with me
It is always nice to see old friends. I visited with a friend
last year that I did not see or talk to in years. It was a good visit
They said the high is supposed to be 68 today
I already have 64 degrees at my house.
I love this weather!!

Mental, I haven't seen any hummingbirds yet, justnbig bumblebees playing dive bomber, wasps and few butterflies abd honey bees. I hate those wasps since they can stung you many times. Guess I will get my hummingbird feeders filled abd putout today so thebees can get an early start on them. Looks like another beautiful day so enjoy it. Had a friend drop by yesterday to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. Kind of made my day. We talked about the Mulatto that he had driven by esrlier. He agred with me that it was ruined and would never be the same. Kind of depressed me after he left.

Hello

You know some states dont allow rain barrels.
I think that is just plain silly. I have creeks and ponds on my property so
I dont collect water I am glad you are able to collect that rain water
I tried the bird baths but the 5 Totos and Sexy always wanted
to play in them so I gave them up. I still feed the birds but I put their
feed out in the morning so all of it is gone by afternoon.
I thought I saw a hummingbird the other day so I put
my hummingbird feeders out. I had the bear come for those as well
in the past but not as often as when they come for the bird seed.
I have not seen the hummingbird since so now I doubt
I saw one.
Well, another great day in the mountains!! I have 60 degrees already
My kind of weather. I like it when it is in the low 70's but that sun
can be brutal since no leaves are on the trees yet. Hard to find shade
when hiking.
Time to get moving. Have a great day arrow Enjoy your new
birdbath and fountain!!

Mental yes its nice to be able to post and not have to deal with dog and his mob. Maybe they got locked in the doghouse .I wouldn't look for summer clothes just yet. It seems the seasons have shifted to later coming and later leaving. Just got my birdbath and fountain set up so no more dirty birds. My sister came around and wanted go knowwhere my daughter got the water. From the rainbarrel at the corner of the house!! That girl scares me sometimes. Didn't cost a lot for the birdbath, Amazin special, but its so pretty .

Hello

Doesnt it feel good to know you can post
on GA without getting attacked?
And you are not worthless arrow. You have a lot to offer
this world.
I had snow, rain and I think even hail the other day. It
was really weird but it looks like we survived.
Nothing but sun and fun today!!!
May even have to break out the summer clothes!!

At least I haven't been attacked abd advised to kill myself in a couple weeksnow. Nor have I been told how worthless I am in they eyes of some. I just wonder how long its going to last. Mental yesterday I saw rain, snow, snizzle, and sunshine. Had to stop work on my ark. Typical April weathe.

Hello

Arrow what do you mean when you say
"the big site" I have seen several people mention
it but I dont know what they are talking about.
The weather was crazy yesterday. Not sure if
it was hail or snow but something was falling from the sky
The winds were crazy as well. I couldnt even
ride the rickshaw because of the winds
I hope this weekend will be nice!!

Mental lets hope it stops raining soon. I am already looking for wood for an ark. There was a moubtain lion spotted on Windy Hill road a few months back. Someone posted its picture on the big site. My daughter saw a bear cross the road about a mile from here. Usually wild animals avoid people. I don't blame them.

Hello

Well, I guess I will have to start looking for more evidence
of a mountain lion I have a game cam picture of
coyote's eating on a deer.
One of the coyotes was huge almost wolf like. I have read
about coy wolves which is a coyote and wolf combined
I have had my share of bad situations as well arrow. I just try
to keep a positive attitude and a jar of fungi available.
It helps with the positive attitude.....
The jar
It helps
Are the rains going to stop today. A freaking downpour yesterday
Seems like the rains never stopped. I love it though. I love when the creeks are full
Hard to get across some of them though especially for The Totos!!
I am glad it is Friday. It has been a long week and I am looking
forward to the weekend

Yes mental, there are both moubtain lions , bobcats and wolves in these moubtaibs. I was stabding by the kitchen window on the Mulatto washing dishes one day. I had had a german shepherd but shs had died and where she had been near the old rock celkar I saw,a brown creature standing on to of the rubble. It was a big mountain lion. I called my husband and son and we all saw it. We often heard it scream behind the old miner cabin down the road. We called it Max My kids saw both a bobcat and wolf there. There was also a white buck in that area. Where I am now a big black cat has been seen and we believe it may have been an escapee from the zoo that used to be down the road. Development has forced a lot of animals into contact with people. A neighbor on the Mulatto got up one morning after grilling the night before to find a besr looking at him through his glass door. I listened to his call on my scanner. The game warden I talked to about the mountain lion told me that unless it threatened my animals or kids toleave it alone since they were rare. People actually scare me more than any animal with their cruelty.All my life I have had to make the best of bad situations. It almost makes me look forward go leaving this world. Theworld being left for our children is notgoing to be one worth livibg in I think.

Hello

Hello arrow. That was a great story! I have found that black bears
want nothing to do with us humans I have never been approached by
a bear when hiking. I was grunted at one time and I left the area
I never saw the bear
Do you really think there are wolves and mountain lions in this area?
I hike a lot of miles in this area and have yet to come across any sign of either
wolves of mountain lions. I know several people who claim to have seen a mountain
lion and they are reputable people
I would love to see either.
It looks like rain again all day. No sunshine can play with my emojis. At least I'm getting
some spring cleaning done.
I hate change too arrow. I would hate to have to leave where I live now
but I know that day will come.
Try to make the best with what you do have

Mental No I didn't get to see the eclipse. It was cloudy here so I didn't bother. It dropped the temperature but never got really dark. A funny story about a besr on thr Mulatto. My kids used to hike that mountain all the time. One ****y oldest found a hunter up a tree his gun lying on the ground at the base . My son asked him what the heck he was doing and the hunter said he saw a bear and asked my son to go on up the path and see where it was. My son looked and saw tracks but no bear. It took him half an hour to talk that hunter down from that little tree. Had the bear wanted him it could have easily climbed that tree. I am still so homesick for the Mulatto. But I can't wait until some of those outsiders now living there run on bears, kr the wolf and mountain lion that used to live there. They may have been run off like I was by now.

Hello

Did you see the eclipse arrow?
I was able to see the eclipse but it was cloudy.
I was able to see it through the clouds. It was interesting
I cant even imagine what the people on this planet
thought when they saw an eclipse way back.
I had a visitor the other morning. A young black bear
came looking for my bird seed. Not my bird seed the birds
bird seed. I dont eat bird seed. I buy bird seed.
I was able to watch the bear through my window
So majestic. I think the black bear is one of the
most beautiful creatures on this planet!!
Next to The 5 Totos and Sexy of course
Looks like another rain hike today. At least
the temps are mild.
I love this time of year!!

Mebtal I feed the birds also. Something keeps stealing my suet feeders. I think its a raccoon but I guess it has to eat too since the neighbors dog steals any scraps that gets put out. I don't think there will be much luck seeing the eclipse.
