Bad times in summer

An invited guest blew through Friday night leaving damage to both of my places and no power for 42 hours. I don't like summer!

Good times in summer

My 11 year old granddaughter had a birthday last week and of course this called for a family gathering. My DIL is great at planning a party and it was a fun one.  Here are a few pictures from the party.

Hummingbirds from the front porch

We are enjoying all the birds in our front yard each morning.  We have robins, woodpeckers, sparrows, roadrunners, and of course hummingbirds. We have a couple of yucca plants that are blooming with pinkish coral blooms.  The hummers love these plants. I believe these are the plants they make tequila from in Mexico.  No wonder the hummers love them. I took a bunch of pics the last few mornings. With a little editing on my computer, I came up with some pretty good pics of the hummers to share.

Happy Fourth of July...Happy Birthday U.S.A.
