Around the House 2

 There was a hitch in my hopes of finding a new fun place to explore today, which left me somewhat stuck around the house again today (with the exception of a mad-dash to the County Clerks Office and Post Office to get my passport name change application sent in with 6 days to spare from the issue date (free if done within a year of issue) - OH how I hate and love you, procrastination). However, being that I woke up on the side of the bed this morning that comes with a desire for rain, a need for ibuprofen, and the knowledge that you're better off by dodging people - I was pleased to just stay home. Tending to the garden - watering the lawn - talking to a cat and dog - was about as active as I felt like being today. But as always, who is to say there is nothing interesting around the house to photograph? An adorable Georgie, a sassy Cloey (I've not yet introduced Miss Cloey yet), little lady hummingbird...there's plenty of photo fun to be had right at home. I was tempted to take a photo of the giant zucchini we managed to grow that I harvested today, but we all know what they look like - and lets face it... a giant zucchini in and of itself does not for a interesting photograph make.

Lady Hummingbird likes my flowers as much as the hummingbird feeder.

So, your first thought is probably - what in the world? This is Olive Oil and balsamic vinegar for a goody I was making before I wisped it together. I thought it looked really neat....

He thinks the spare bed is solely for him - and is particularly fond of it when the sun shines

I was pulling weeds from the walk-way when I almost came up right into this. Luckily I saw one fly by me and quickly side stepped. These guys are black and intricately designed with white... what are they? UPDATE: Baldfaced hornets - I googled :)

I enjoy having fresh flowers in a vase on the table. Just makes me happy.
