A simple Saturday morning post today....
Sam and I are so enjoying sitting around the pool this year...Seeing all of the lights and the reflections of them on the pool water.
Still waiting on the pool water to warm up!!
Hugs,

We have a bully in town....and lately he has decided to hang out right here at our house... Frustrating for sure!
This bully is teeny tiny... and his name is ........"Sir Zippy McFlutter"
Now before you picture some giant creature causing chaos, let me explain. This is a little hummingbird and it might weigh just a few ounces...but he has the attitude of a linebacker guarding the last slice of pie at a church supper...
He spends long stretches of the day perched nearby, keeping a close eye on "his" feeders. The minute another hummingbird dares to flutter in for a sip of the sweet nectar, here he comes....darting, diving, and chasing them away like he owns the whole backyard. Bless his little territorial heart.
Sam and I have sat outside laughing and shaking our heads watching this tiny feathered fellow rule the skies like a sheriff in a western movie. It's amazing how something so small can have such a big personality.
Honestly, I never knew bird drama could be so entertaining. One minute it looks peaceful and serene outside....and the next minute it's an aerial wrestling match over sugar water.
I went outside yesterday and moved the feeders all around the backyard so that it might make it a bit harder for him to guard all of them, but I can sure tell you, he is trying hard to control them all.
All of the other hummers might have to gang up on "Sir Zippy McFlutter" and show him that he is not the Boss!! He is for sure...fast and can be very annoying......but cute in his own way.

Wishing you all a fabulous Mother's day Weekend...

*Note...I will be late visiting and reading your posts today... Looking forward to catching up...
1. What's something you may do this month?
I may go to the zoo sometime this month..I haven't been in a very long time and I want to go before the weather gets too hot to be able to enjoy it. I also....may organize my pantry! I haven't done this in a while and it really needs to be done!
2. Hola! Hodgepodge Day lands just after Cinco de Mayo... how do you feel about Mexican food? What's your favorite dish? Do you make it at home or is it a strictly dine out option?
I live in Texas and Texas is WELL KNOWN for Mexican restaurants. In our neighboring city, there is a Mexican restaurant on every corner and they are always super busy. We are all big fans of this kind of food. Of course, we call it Tex-Mex. I cook Mexican food every chance I get. Enchiladas, tacos, nachos...you name it!! 🌮🌮🌮 When eating Mexican food, I want the whole experience....The noise, the chips and salsa, the hanging pinata's ... All of it..
3. When the children of today grow up what do you think they'll say about this time period? What do you most hope they remember?
I think they will say say it was fast...loud...and full of change. Technology, opinions, everything moving at lightning speed. What I really hope they will say how great it feels to be loved. I do believe that they will remember good things, but I'm sure they will remember the chaos that is in the world today. Hopefully they will understand as they become adults that in this world you work for what you have... There is NO entitlement.
4. What advice would you give a new mother?
Oh sweet new mother...BREATHE!! The days may seem long, but the years pass by fast. Teach them early about God...teach them early about love...make sure they know what family time is all about. Read to them every chance you get...Let them know they are loved...
5. What's a phrase your mother often said to you? If you're a mom do you say it to your own children?
"This too shall pass....it will be okay." She was right!! The hard days, the tears, the worry...they don't stay forever.
I'm pretty sure that I have said this over and over again myself.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
We never.... oops....forgot what I was gonna say.
New thought....Sam and I had to run into town yesterday evening so we decided to eat a little Mexican food since it was Cinco De Mayo. We stopped in at "The Jalenpen'o Tree" and ordered our favorites.. For me it was bean and cheese nachos. For Sam it was chicken fajita nachos. We brought half of each plate home with us. And of course...we had to have the flour tortillas with a tad of honey. So good, so yummy!!
