Sounds like an awesome day, Chris!!! So glad you\'ve been ENJOYING NATURE!!! I too try to get out there each day and ate the sweetiest juiciest peach right from the tree today!!! I don\'t use anything on my trees so I do just eat them... YUMMY!!

Hummers are keeping me RUNNING TODAY!!! I filled one set of feeders TWICE today... Mine are PIGS not Hummingbirds!!! Quick run to town to meet Angie and divee up the PPMS stuff then Walmart for a few things... Just felt like a broken-up kindof day...

Love to you and Mom and Dad and everyone in cT!! Have a nice evening... xoxoxo Cj

Hi Chris...Enjoyed your video of the humming birds and squirrels! The humming bird ate from all sides/ports of the feeder. I know they appreciate you and your family for all the goodies you provide for them.
Your sunflowers.Man they look so Beautiful and Bold. I am going to see if I can grow and buy a snowball bush here,just am in love with that plant.
Nice to see the bee\'s happily doing their thing. Cucumbers look good and I enjoy yellow squash too. Can\'t wait for next spring to start my own little garden. Thanks to you and Cj,I have got gardening fever!
You asked which teams I root for for....college Oregon Ducks and Wyoming Cowboys. (I was raised in Wyoming) NFL,Giants Green Bay,Washington as well, That is cool that you enjoy NFL fantasy league.
Enjoy your movie tonight.
My day was busy,I cleaned the carpets downstairs,and dusted and cleaned my computer room. Then BBQ\'d hamburgers for dinner. Going to go walk on the treadmill for a bit too. Its a bit too hot for me and Annie to be walking.
Keep up the good work with your healthy eating. Love/BLessings for you and your family

Those are some very happy squirrels and the humming birds are totally happy with your nectar feeders. Super delicious looking cucumbers also Chris. The movie you made was a perfect way to start the day with smiles and some much needed happiness. Thank you bro for sharing this wonderful adventure this morning. I\'m hoping to ride my mobility, \'Garden Buggy\', out in the gardens today and do the front garden watering as well as take the garbage can out to curbside and supervise the pick up -- since my husband died people keep thinking they can snatch my garbage can. Once I had to get after a fellow who had made it half way down the block with my can. People don\'t have healthy boundaries or very much, if any at all, respect for one another any longer. A bit too much of \'Dog eat Dog\' gong on to even feel safe if alone with severe disability any longer. Perhaps it has always been this way and I just never noticed it because I had my husband here with me but it makes life too dangerous at times the way it is.

I loved visiting with you in your bird sanctuary and seeing all the wonderful families of animals and birds that enjoy being there so very much. I\'m also proud of your healthy eating program and know food provides to us a lot of comfort and to have to manage that to eat well can be a challenge at times for sure. I allow myself pizza \'pig out\' three times a year any longer -- LOL and I am also allowed cheesecake \'pig out\' three times a year also -- I would jump off a very high cliff if I had to endure all of this without at least some \'pigging out\' on goodies a few times a year -- LOL ...but the rest of the time it is oatmeal and raisins along with sunflower seeds and veggies along with beans and such. Lots of water drinking also.

((hugs)) shared precious Christopher and family.
