Crazy lil hummers Pt 2

Earlier I was brushing stripper onto the chairs I’m working. I was standing right next to the hummingbird feeder when I heard one fly up behind me. Well after he flew around me a few times, I decided to get the camera. I was literially stand a foot away from the feeder. As long as I didn’t move too fast he didn’t seem to be bothered by me. The lil fella even posed for me!

Then he would fly up to the tree and watch me for a bit. Then big mama came along….

She wasn’t overly thrilled about me being so close, or maybe she didn’t like the camera. I’m thinking its the camera she didn’t like, because shes used to me being out here on the patio, she rarly flies off anymore when I move around unless I move to fast or make to much noise. Once I got those 2 pictures she went on here way.

Then lil stud muffin here decided he wanted to pose some more after I moved away from the feeder….

And thats where he is still sitting watching me type away. He has flown off a few times, but comes right back. I’m thinking I made him feel like a star and now he has a ego! lol ;)

Crazy lil hummers

Here is a video I recorded yesterday of 2 little hummingbirds fighting. This went on for 15-20 minutes. Sorry it is blurry, I don’t know what happened while it was uploading to youtube.

5-10 minutes of your time

I was unable to sleep lastnight, laying here on the couch reading a book. The TV was on, and after awhile I was got tired of hearing the infomercial’s. So I set my book down and done a little channel surfing and came across a documentry called The Cove. Needless to say, this was the most heart wrenching show I have EVER seen. I think I may have even bawled more then Hayden Panettiere, and she seen it live with her own eyes. There was times I had too look away.

Anyways, my point to this post is to ask you to take 5-10 minutes of your time and spread the word by email, posting on your blog about it, sign the petition, donate….. ANYTHING!!!!

I don’t ask my readers for favors very often, but when it comes to something like this, I will ask for your help.

It hurt’s

To move, breath or even think!! A few days ago I posted about these chiars ( got deleted on accident)….

Before…

Currently…

Well yesterday, I decided I was going to get my booty in gear and start sanding. I have way to many projects going on at once and need to get them finished! Anyways I sat for 5 hours straight sanding on ONE chair……

Which I was enjoying myself for once while sanding. It was a beatiful day yesterday, I had the radio on, coffee next to me and a nice breeze blowing the entire time. I wasn’t sanding like I had a deadline to meet or anything, but with the way I’m feeling today, arms stiff and sore, back feels like I was ran over by a mack truck, finger tips feel raw, and face feels like I have sunburn, I guess from wiping the sweat off my face with a towel several times yesterday, and to top it all off, I’m hacking my head off more than usuall which is making my throat sore. I guess I really should start wearing a mask when I’m sanding something. Between being a smoker (yes I know, I should quit, but thats easier said than done) and having allergies, which I’m out of allergy med’s at the moment, you would think I would be smart enough to know to wear a mask!

So for the moment anyways, I’m sitting out on my back patio, relaxing and enjoying this AWESOME weather we are having right now. It’s 74 degrees, no humity, a light breeze, and the sun is shining,  basicly just a beautiful day. I wish it was like this year round!! I’m going to sit here and finish uploading pictures and so on for my blog and hopfully get everything done on my blog today.

Until next time…

Jamie
