My gf in WA will llke that. She does the same in her back yard. Can you grow crocosmia lucifer down there? Her hummers love it, as well as catmint, I think.Sitting on the deck sipping on a glass of iced tea and watching my wife's hummingbirds check out the flowers I maintain for her.
Oooooooh! A Red Green fixer-upper special. A couple of rolls of duct tape and a lick of paint and she'll be rolling along the turnpike again in short order
I'm going to have to get crocosmia for next year. Here in the northeast there's some unidentified disease killing many songbirds. The symptoms are crusty eyes and neurological symptoms. They are generally younger birds that get it. So no bird feeders because as they congregate, birds can spread this disease. Not sure about prohibition for hummingbirds, in CT, but I wash my hummingbird feeder out every day and don't put very much nectar in. I only have one hanging at the side of the house and pulled in the other two. I have a pine tree maybe 10' from my feeder and the male hummingbird sits up at the very top of it and guards this one feeder. He and one scrawny female are the only two that come here since I took the other hummingbird feeders down. I don't or suet up till November or December. The Audubon Society has recommended the removal of all feeders and birdbaths preferring that the songbirds go to natural food sources that are plentiful here.My gf in WA will llke that.

Smudge pretty much stays around my property and away from other people's pets, aside from the occasional altercation with my immediate neighbour's cats, fortunately rare these days. Tessa lives about 200 yards up the road. I'd think they might get along, though, once Smudge adjusted
My den is coming along nicely. Finally got me some leather club chairs ordered and my bar moved in, the chairs are a two months out on delivery unfortunately, but it'll be worth the wait. My antique and rare book collection is growing by leaps and bounds, think I'm up to around 130 ~now, but I've managed to snag some really unique books in the process.
Still need to get my bookcase lights installed, but the room has a real good "vibe" as one of my son's says.
The room has actually evolved since this photo, it's just the last one I took.
Which one? lolWhere's your humidor?
For you LEO old-timers, the "new" 1967 Plymouth Belvedere on patrol in SD.
They're actually big help here in New England. They eat ticks and other pesky bugs. They do not carry rabies, according to my vet, and take good care of their young. They actually do "play possum" if startled by my 8 lb dog and aren't dangerous to people dogs or cats. They do have sharp teeth, tho. Thanks for sharing your photo[emoji16][emoji178]
I hope you do get a chance to visit before the snow flies. Is it easier for her to come to BC instead? They both look comfy and happy in their hammock while they await your visit[emoji178][emoji178][emoji16][emoji16]My gf and izzie, one of her mega-moggies ("Charlie of epic whiskers" being the other), chilling out in her garden in her hammock, which she can gently rock with a pole. She bought a second one for me so we can chill together, if I can ever get across the line to join her. (By which time it might indeed be very chilly, and well past hammock season.) In the meantime, thank heavens for Skype
