My Little Pets

We don't have any pets at my house so when the Hummingbirds start showing up I make sure to have "food" out for them. Aside from planting lots of Hummingbird loving plants, I put out the sugar water. The last week they've been all over the place. I guess they're filling up for when they leave. I have 2 feeders out. This one is right outside the living room so I can watch them from the sofa.

This guy seems to be Mr. In Charge. He kept chasing off the other ones. 

Can you tell there are 3 on this feeder?

I took this one this morning. I know these aren't good pictures but I was having to take them through the window so as not to scare them off.

At one point this morning there were 7 at the feeder! It was so neat to watch.

I'll miss them when they're gone.

I'm joining the party at A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday.

Toodles!

Not That I'm Complaining.....

BUT, an inch and a half of rain in 45 minutes is a bit much.  Yep, after no rain whatsoever in like 6 weeks we've had almost 5 inches since Sunday!!! I'm not going to lie, I was happy about the rain today. I had planned to pull some weeds that have sprouted up in the front beds after all the rain but I really wanted to watch Real Housewives of NJ!! I swear the more I watch the more I can't stand Danielle.

Saturday while I was pulling weeds I came across this funny looking thing. I can't figure out if it's some weird butterfly or some weird moth. Any ideas?? I know it's not the greatest picture but I didn't bring my good camera outside to pull weeds. It was kinda pretty with the pink on its wings.

OK, maybe pretty was a stretch.

As I type this I'm watching the hummingbirds. I really want to go out there & fuss at them or at one of them anyway. I swear they're just like kids. One flies up to eat & the other comes & chases it off & then it doesn't  eat, it just hovers around so the other one doesn't come back. Only the other one does come back & it starts all over. It's a vicious cycle.  I just want to tell them there's enough for everyone & there's another feeder by the pool. Uggghhhh!!!

I just got a phone call that my sweet little Logan has Roseola! He doesn't have the rash yet just the fever. He must feel awful. I could hear him in the background whining. Poor little thing. This leads me to believe that there's some other poor little thing that was at Lydia & Scott's crawfish boil Saturday night. I hope he's feeling good enough by Sunday because he's supposed to be having his birthday party.

I'm linking to Outdoor Wednesday so maybe someone can tell me what the weird moth/butterfly thing is.
