Good evening to everyone...Carol, it's good to know you're OK, just tired out...I was afraid of that, bet you're sleeping like a baby aren't you Sweetie??? Just good to know you are doing all right...We know you're busy with work and taking care of your Aunt's business and all, just take care and don't overdo yourself, OK?? We love you lots too!
Sharon, on your taters, let the plants grow, and when they start dying back, it means your taters are ready to dig, you'll find your bounty of taters underneath the dying plants...Be careful when you go to dig them, they are easy to cut into and damage, Garry uses a pitchfork to dig his with, it cuts down on the damage caused, OK? If you use a shovel, just do it easy and you'll be OK! You'll find all sizes of potatoes, big ones and smallones alike, and they're thin skined too...Nothing as good as home grown potatoes, honest injun! LOL Even the little ones are good boiled whole, kind of mashed up on your plate and add butter/margarine and pepper, yummy...Of course butter and pepper is to my taste, you'll probably like a little salt and pepper both on yours, huh?? LOL Gonna have to call you farmer Sharon, huh?? You go woman, great work growing your own garden and having fresh vegies isn't it??? I know you're going to really enjoy having them! What other vegies do you have in your garden Sweetie?? Nosey old bat aren't I??? LOL
Yes Sweetie, there are many different types of hummingbirds, the one you saw was probably a ruby throated hummingbird, the male is a dark green with a cream colored breast and tail, and he'll have a ruby red spot on his neck, well, his chin if you can call it that! LOL The female is just plain, she's a paler green and has a spotty pale green and cream colored chest on her, best I can describe them, sorry! But I'm guessing that's what you saw, it's the only one we have in this part of the country, all of the prettier ones are in the warmer climates...One of these days!!! LOL Guess you can tell, I'm a bird lover in general, I love all birds, but my most favorite ones are the hummers...OK, I love you all lots and lots and sending you big hugs...Nite nite for now, Dee...
