Hummingbird Sighting, look closely!!

A Humming bird came to see me today, I hope that means something happy!! Take a real close look!

In the picture above, the hummingbird is in mid air, right in the lower center of the tree..

Look Close, this time it's right in the center of the plant, getting nectar....

You can see it in the corner, I see you Hummingbird!! You are hard to get on film, stop being so camera shy!!

Well, I tried.... I hope these birds keep coming my way, they are just wonderful!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!! xoxo, A

Book Store

I found a book store!!! I don't know why that makes me so excited. It's the kind of bookstore that isn't a huge corporation, you can walk in and just see aisles and aisles of books, Used books. The binds on the back have been open and closed so many times you can see the ridges on the spine. You can also bring in another used book for a trade in price! I love to actually hold a book in my hands and yes I smell the pages. Why, because I like the smell, you should try it! I bought a cook book of all things, but Hey it made me happy! It was 3 dollars what's not to love!

A day with sunflowers

I went to my nearby farmers market, I got tomatoes, peaches, and sunflowers!! When I said I wanted sunflowers she gave me a basket and clippers. I went into the field and clipped what I wanted, it was so beautiful being in a farm that grows their own goods. I was all alone when I was clipping the blooms, it was like being a kid in the fields, I got 3 blooms and the honey bees and I had to fight for the flowers! It was fun, I got dirt on my toes and the sun in my face...today was a good day!! Don't worry will give some dirt later, no pun intended...

White Stone, Virginia

Kind of a foggy day, but my friends beach house is right on the Rappahanock River, the locals call it The Rivah...

Their Dock, I spent several days fishing off of it. I caught 2 but they were baby bass so I let them go

These are called crab pots, throw them in With some bait and wait.... We pulled up the pots every hour, didn't have the greatest success, but we got this guy. Can you see how big this one was!!!

I even caught a crab with a net! Again it was a baby so I set it free...

A better view of the dock, they hooked up a raft to the back of that boat and boy was that a great time, I laughed and screamed so hard I lost my voice the next day!!

Those wood sticks are called piles, it used to be a pier. Back in the day this house used to be a full time fish refinery, but those days are gone, now it's home to masses of barnacles, crabs, and retirerees fishing for their dinner. The family uses this house now for family get togethers, and did we have a good time um you betcha!!!
