Friday is here and this may be short because Ms. Kate and I are doing a road trip again today. Today's adventures will take us to Louisville, KY for lunch at PF Chang's and then to Julie and Jim's house to meet their new puppy, Fenway.

It is an absolutely travel-fantastic day. It is 66 degrees and the sun is shining brightly. This is fall weather and I could stand this year around. The high today will be 82 and a breeze out there will force Ms. Kate into a sweater or light jacket.

The last couple of days have been busy and yet I can hardly tell you what we have accomplished; just a lot of stuff.  ----- OK, Ms. Kate says let's hit the road so I'm out the door. I'll get back to you later today.

Well, we are back from Louisville after a really great lunch and then a great visit for about an hour with Julie and Jim. The trip over and back was uneventful and I was surprised that the Labor Day traffic had not already picked up for the weekend.

I just finished filling the birdfeeders and scrubbing up the hummingbird feeders. I have an ant guard that the feeder hangs from. It is a little cup type of thing and you put water in it and it is supposed to keep the ants off of the feeder. That theory works well --- how ever the finches love to drink out of those little cups for whatever reason and they get dry. Then the ants are like Moses leading the Hebrews through the parted water. And then there are the honey bees. They love to drink that sweet nectar too. It is a tough job being a backyard bird farmer!!

The sun has just dropped below the horizon and it is a pleasant 73 degrees out here. The birds have quickly discovered the filled feeders and are in for their last feeding of the night. It is quite peaceful as Ms. Kate and I sit and enjoy one another's company here in the sunporch. I hope your evening is as pleasant and your evening is filled with only good thoughts. Go to bed tonight knowing that God loves you and watches over you and all else will take care of itself. Peace.
