Lewis's Hummingbirds

The last couple of days have been hard.  Its really been hot and humid.  I didn't make it to Lewis's house till late and even then it was hot.  He has more hummingbirds than anyone I know and I guess it takes them a few days to get use to anything new.  Lewis does not like leaving my flowers there by his feeders because he believes that the flowers will scare them off but I've never noticed that happening before and besides he has lots of hummingbirds.

While sitting on the front porch of the big house I noticed several large birds flying around but I could not seem to pick them up with my large lens and could never get any good photos of them but hopefully once I've moved there I will come up with ways to mount my lens on the porch railings and be able spot them while flying. 

I plan to put out a feeder for the purpose of getting the deer closer I know they and other animals will come to the ponds and feeders.  It want be easy but I will get some good shots. 

I can't wait to move to the ranch and get things set up the way I want.  It will be so much easier to do the things I want to do once I have moved there. 

See you in the Wilderness.

Stoney Point Road

We are approximately 2 months away from moving to Stoney Point Ranch.  The house is nearly finished.  Of course, something could happen to delay it; but, lest hope not.  We picked out 'granite' tops and all appliances yesterday and gave all that information to the builder.  The fireplace in being put in and the bricks will be here next week as will the Windows.  I can't wait to see all this in place; then, they will start on the cabinets, flooring and stairs.  Its going to be beautiful with all the "Oak" trim.  Just you wait and see.

On Friday I am suppose to go to Lewis's house and take photos of hummingbirds using some flowers that I have been babying all summer.  I plan to be there by 7 if at all possible, we'll see.  Its so hard to get my husband up and moving. 

My horse, Daisy, will not get to come till Sept.  Not until I can be living there so I can make sure she will be safe. 

I must go.  See you out and about in the Frontier!
