Behind our house we have a trail. It was a railroad track that has been paved especially for walking or other types of exercise. Three boys decided to bike and one was on a scooter. Gus and I walked.

The Artful Hummingbird
I have this red octopus clothes hanger hanging on my back porch and one day there was a hummingbird flying around it. Evidently they are attracted to red. So I bought a hummingbird feeder and have been trying to get a picture of him for the past week. But every time I try he flies to the other side of the feeder. I finally got these pictures yesterday.
He is a ruby throated hummingbird. His wings beat on an average of 53 per second in normal flight.
He visits often and has no problem visiting the feeder while we sit on the porch. He just doesn't like his picture taken.

Sam and Kurtis in the newspaper
While searching the web for something, I found an article about Kurtis' biology class planting trees and one about Sam's graduation from Little Miracles preschool. Here are the pictures from the articles.
That is Kurtis in the green shirt bending down with the shovel.
Just bypass the teacher and girls and look straight back at the boy in green. That is Kurtis.

Can't miss him. His graduation cap says SAM. Don't you just love the graduation gowns, tie dye white men's shirts.

Catch up
It has been so long since I have really been blogging. So here are the last few months of events and pictures.
And a house sparrow decided to make a nest in the geraniums my Dad gave me for Mother's day. It is hanging right outside my front door and even though the bird hating dog sits out there the bird doesn't seem to mind.
