Thursday 13

1. A hummingbird is about 36 inches from my head, trying to eat from the inpatients. I didn't know they chirped.

2. Things are going relatively smooth, work wise. What's going on? I'm suspicious.

3. I wish I had a large, upright freezer I could fill with fresh from the farm veggies. Our little freezer is chock full of berries and tomatoes, not leaving any room for anything else. Too bad I'm not craving smoothies or tomato sauce.

4. Halloween & Fall decorations are slowly making their way out. I'm ready to let go of summer and enjoy autumn with all my heart.

5. Tomorrow could be the day they've been waiting for. The money is saved and counted.

6. The new Pearl Jam CD is staring at me, sending a telepathic message- "Listen to me! Listen to me!" Can I put aside my Blind Melon boys for awhile?

7. I'm declaring tomorrow "Stay Put Day." Its been too long and my books are feeling lonely.

8. I'll probably end up wasting my free time, cleaning stuff.

9. Its foggy season in Wisconsin. Every morning and every evening. I find it so romantic.

10. Wish they wouldn't have moved the Dr.Oz show to the afternoon. Now there's nothing to watch while I'm on the treadmill.

11. Received a postcard if we don't tag our Christmas tree next weekend, we won't get one. The farm is running low on trees after a spring flood, and they won't open for the season, but they are still allowing past customers to tag what's left. We may have to find a new farm.

12. The Funnel spider is making her way out. Too bad its not bugs, but flower petals knocked over by the humming bird.

13. I better call my Posse Moms and see what's up for today.

Wow, that's strange. I just discovered the hummingbird chirping thing to, about an hour ago. I couldn't believe that I never realized this in all the years they've been coming to my feeders. I found out in an unfortunate way. I found an injured hummingbird. I really don't know what to do with it ( a 'her' I think). It's wing is bleeding slightly. Any ideas? I just have the bird in a box on my porch with a small dish towel in it, and some nectar in a tiny glass dish :O\

I didn't know hummingbirds chirped, either! How is the Dr. Oz show? Thinking I should start DVRing it, perhaps. Christmas... ugh! Not yet!!

I'm sure its heartbreaking to see the injured bird and you want to do everything you can to help it, but it could be a "circle of life" moment. I'd probably call our vet and ask if there was a wild bird or animal rescue nearby.

When I heard our bird chirp, I thought it was injured as well. It's wings actually seemed to be off pitch, that is, I could hear a buzz that I don't normally do, and I wondered if she was not flapping her wings at a normal speed.

I've seen only two Dr. Oz shows, and I liked them. I really don't want Oprah, so he's all new to me.
