Thursday Morning and it is a partially overcast sky with rain coming in today later. That is fine because we now actually could use it.The yard is dusty for the first time all summer. We've been eleven days dry for the first time since early June. (LOL, that sentence made me sound like an alcoholic didn't it?)

Ms. Kate and I had to clean and refill the hummingbird feeders again today. Taking them down off of their hangers is a test of courage. The honey bees and the wasps swarm around me as I take them off of the hooks. So, I spray the feeders down first with the hose to maybe wash some of the sweet sugar water off of them. It didn't take more than a minute after we finished for the hammers to come back to a fresh feast.

I've had a few cardinals out there most of the morning along with a couple of downy woodpeckers, some finches, and one squirrel who thinks he's hiding but his tail is giving him away. I'll leave him alone; he's not hurting anything and is on a "permitable" feeder.

Our day was busy again yesterday, We got most of the shopping done for thee Harvest breakfast we are hosting at the church on Saturday morning. Ms. Kate is planning on eggs to order, sausage, milk gravy, biscuits, monkey bread as well as coffee, orange juice, and milk. We may need to cut up a cantaloupe or three too for a little fruit. This is our ninth and final year to do this. We generally feed 30-35 people but with this being our last one before we retire, there could be more this year.  Kate does serve a good breakfast and I just think it is important too start the harvest season off this way. But, it is a lot of work. We used to entertain a lot "back in the day", but age has slowed us down.

Speaking of breakfast, Ms. Kate has our ready and I have to take a couple of fresh biscuits and jar of her new peach jam across the street to Dan and Minh. So, I'm off of here. Have a blessed day, Give thanks to God for your blessings and share those blessings with someone. Peace.
