Coffee Shop, Dark Clouds, Holey Barrel, Hummingbirds, Fog and My Weirdo

 Tuesday, I headed out for my
allergy shot. From there I took my 
sewing machine that I bought last week
back to Wally World, there was
missing parts. 
After that I headed over to the 
Pumphery and Beard coffee shop to drop
off some 2.5x3.5 cards for the 
vending machine. Figured I would make
one more stop at the antique store.
Then home...

Pumphery and Beard




Leaving the coffee shop this is 
what it looked like outside.

I had to take a pic of this can at the 
antique store in there outside 
area. I wondered if it had been
shot up or just rusted out.

I so want this for the yard.


Visitors the hummingbird feeder.

Oh my gosh, isn't this little
dude so pretty.
Gorgeous Ruby Throated
hummingbird.
I put up feeders in spring of 24 after
my winter move here.
After putting up feeders, this male
showed up, floating around with 
no effort at all, darting in and out, taking
a nip here and there.

Like all birds, the male is the 
prettiest and more colorful.

Yes, many hummingbirds return to the same locations each year, demonstrating strong site fidelity and remarkable navigational skills.

Yes, many hummingbirds return to the same locations each year, demonstrating strong site fidelity and remarkable navigational skills.

Hummingbirds often revisit the same feeding areas, gardens, and breeding grounds annually, sometimes even arriving on the same date as the previous year .
This behavior, known as site fidelity, allows them to exploit familiar and reliable food sources, reduce competition, and re-establish territories.  Female hummingbirds also tend to return to the area where they were born to nest and raise their young.

Hummingbirds can live 3 to 5 yrs. 

Wednesday morning greeted me with this
site.

Counting fogs in July is not a thing but 
according to ole wise tales, the amount
of fogs in August is supposed to show
you the amount of snows we will have.
August is around the corner,
so be prepared to count your
foggy mornings. 

Saw this on fb this morning,
I had to laugh and scratch my head, 
cause I am wondering which rock mine is
hiding under.

And on that note, 
I will close for now.
Have a beautiful day filled
with rocks in your pocket,
Pam

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Coffee Table Redo

Image
Morning all. Couple weeks ago I found this at a neighbors home put out on the side of the  road. Loaded it up in my Prius. It was heavy and LONG.  Standing it up next to me it comes to my shoulders and I am 5'2. My daughter Amber had told me just that week that she needed a coffee table. I think it was meant to be! Basic maple with a traditional  look and a formica top. that you can't do much with. So after checking with my daughter to be sure size would not be a problem I got to work. I built a frame. My thoughts were that if I made a frame and attached wood to that I could slip it right over the top of the existing table top.  Oops....forgot a step... before making the frame I spray painted the base in an ivory color.  Now with that step added in I  move on to what it looks like with the wood attached  to my frame. It slipped right over the top ...

House/dog/bird sitting at my brothers house.  Of course this was Lily's first trip there. Dakota  has house sat with me many times.  Lily was not too sure what to think about Ms. Lola. She loves the ledge at the large windows! My brother has some really pretty sunflowers.....all about to give it up for the summer. Wasp drinking from the hummingbird feeder. Just wondering if these are hot... haha...I will pass on trying them  out though. Bell pepper hiding from  view. Check out the spider web. Loving this shot with the barn in the  background.  This is a form of a bush called Datura stramonium ,  known by the  English names   jimsonweed  or  Devil's snare , the seed pod.  Lily pads. Another bell pepper. Hovering over the pond. My sis in law has been canning.  Messi...
