Unexpected Dinner Guest!

The DH and I were just finishing dinner last night when a dark cloud moved over our heads. I am not speaking of the cloud of doom, no, no it was a HUGE hawk that flew in and landed in the tree right outside the back door! HUGE I tell you! See for your selves!

He* was intensely looking for food. Luckily the baby squirrel had just scampered off into the wilderness of our side yard just moments before. Isn't he* cute! I wish he could stay small forever, either that or turn into a vacuum cleaner, because the acorns are starting to fall!


We should of known something was up because we had just noticed that the hummingbird had not shown up for his nightly supper. That's right, in case you didn't know it you could set a watch (or an iphone) to that bird, he* comes for breakfast and supper at the same time every day!
Yes, we have feathered and furry friends of all kinds in our little backyard sanctuary! But my favorite one is this one.


Especially when he puts on MY flip flops to run out and take pictures of said hawk. I did say furry did I not!

*I realize that they could be "she", but since I am not a veterinarian, nor do I play one on TV I'll just go with "he".

All in all

It was a good weekend. I spent Saturday with my parents and sisters, and that's always fun. I got the humming bird helmet that my Dad made just for me. Remember this blog ? Well I asked my Dad to make one for me and he did. So come summer I'm going to get a humming bird to sit on my finger! Thats right, how many of you (that are laughing right now) will be able to say that before you DIE! DH cracks up everytime he walks past it in the hall, so I think I'll leave it there for a few days :-D
Sunday... OK we didn't make it to the gym and I feel a little guilty about that. But I'll get over it! It was sunny all day so I puttered around the house, a little cleaning, a little cooking, a little beadwork. I Finished up a bracelet I started on Friday afternoon. It was a beauty, made with black, bronze and silver beads. I was wearing it to make sure the clasp worked, it did, but I noticed the silver drops I had used on the ends were losing there silver coating. Damn, damn, damn. Now I can't blame the bead store I bought them from, they wouldn't know unless someone told them, which I plan on doing. But I wish it would happen as your using them! Now I have all the hours in, wasted, the afternoon, wasted, I can't sell it. Good thing I have sisters that love wearing my jewelry no matter what condition it's in! So off it goes to my sister, won't she be surprised! Time and afternoon saved!
