Life Through the Eyes of my Scattered Brian

 MONDAY rolls around way too fast. I posted a post today which is Monday the 22nd, that  I wrote apparently, last  Monday! I like blogging head  and holding in the hopper for when its time  comes around but sometimes it confuses me trying to  remember, "have I blogged about this yet" .... course it don't take much to confuse me! Anyway, this morning while suffering FB I saw this and  thought, how true. With that said, Hickman Co. is my NOWHERE. And just to give you an  out look on my mornings... Pretty much me and my coffee!! That brings a thought to me, how many cups of coffee do you have each morning? I limit mine at one. I also have some  FORGOTTEN pics that I have taken around Hickman Co. that I have not edited or posted on FB yet. Gotta get on  all that. However, this is not far from me but it is not a FORGOTTEN. Here is some info on the bldg. Storytellers Museum and Hideaway Farm (storytellershideawayfarm.com) I really need to dive into  this and see what all this i

Saturday, on the way to shoot  a wedding.....an hour and 30 mins down  the road. A baby shower, and my second wedding in a month.  That is it, not doing anymore that far off. Saturday morning before I headed out to do the  wedding, I was in the backyard,  and heard the sound of  hummingbird wings, right beside me. A Ruby Throated Male... I was so excited I ran in  for the camera and sat down  next to the feeder.  While I waited for the  Hummingbird to return I photographed the ant on the feeder.  Then a tad bit later, here he came again.  He did not face me so I  did not get a good shot of  his throat, but you can  see it.  So excited, I have never had a Ruby Throated visit any of my feeders.  Maybe tomorrow I will get  some good pics of him. Thursday, I had a date  with my partners in crime,  Deborah and Cindy.  We invited Glenda to  enjoy us.  Deborah and Cindy were  the ladies I worked with for five years in Medicaid  Fraud with the Tennessee  Bureau of Investigation. We try to stay

 The NEW me...lol I started lase Monday morn on the deck and tried to jump start the brain with coffee and  search a word! Not good at cross word puzzles but I love search a word.   I did some thank you cards for Julie, Vic and Mitzi for bringing the mower an  hour and 15 minutes down the  road to me.  Julie and James love their chickens so I did a dressed up  chicken for her. For Vic and Mitzi I did a donkey, they had two but recently losing one. But anyway, I water colored them a donkey on  their thank you card. This pic below came up on  my fb page, Theresa took this  when we went to a park for her to take pics of wild flowers for a brochure. This was ten yrs ago. Talking about memories,  who remembers this gum? I introduced the boys  to this gum. They had never had it before.  Again, talk about introducing the boys to something, the other day I introduced Braden AKA B to  a caterpillar. He had never seen one of these, let alone let it crawl up his arm. I sat out on the  deck Sunday

 I planted these seeds last  year, they were from seeds that I got at my friends moms, funeral, Beverly .. They did well last year and  seem to be coming back with a  bang this year. I have a massive amount of caterpillars like  this one around the house. Here are some other plants I had last yr.  Came back again. And my favorite one is my sedum. I think this is my reddish brown. This is a ground cover,  drop it on the ground, and  off it goes. That is why it is in a pot!! I have planted a lot of  seeds in the two beds that I made, can't wait to  see what comes up. Sunday, I got this put together. One of two I  have. My oldest brother gave these to me.  I think I told you that he has an inventory of this stuff from Santa Cruz, Bolivia. It is a type of wood that is resistant to termites and rot for 75 yrs.  I put it together on the back  deck.... haha, but it needs to be on the front porch, and  it is way to heavy put  together so I need help moving it. Amber was here early and we b
