Back To The Grind

I've been doing dishes, laundry, washing carpets, and making hummingbird food. Remember, it's 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. You don't need to buy it at the store, and the food that's dyed red is not recommended. It probably won't be long until the hummingbirds vanish until next year, but for now they're very active. Also, I fed the dogs and watched the neighbor saddle and ride her horse for a while.

It's August, which is generally a scorching time here in Texas. It has been unseasonable cool lately. I'm not ready for fall and winter weather. If I had the money, I'd move some place where it stays warm year around. It's supposed to warm up, tomorrow.
