Tuesday’s Rewards – Close Up on Hummingbirds
I woke to an overcast day inside and out – it was time for my booster shot. My dear husband offered to drive me there and I appreciated the moral support. All went well though I expect some soreness tomorrow if my last shot… Continue Reading “Tuesday’s Rewards – Close Up on Hummingbirds”

Sun Setting on Summer
The long and busy days of summer are waning and fall is in the air. Smoky skies have cleared and last week’s orange sun has returned to normal. Still no rain but that will come. ~ Susanne
