Humming Birds are so funny

These buggers are fast. I have them swarming my feeder and fighting over who is going to get the fresh yummy sweet juice. Its so funny to watch them humming by and challenging the next one, knocking into the air and making their funny noises!

And all of them have different colors. One actually has the colors of an orangutan and is so cute. Then there is an almost all brown one, then a red throated one and another is several different colors.
Humming Birds are fun to watch and we are feeding them too. Its funny to see them perched on the top of a tree branch. So small but so strong.
They also will buzz your head to get to their food.. lol

Where is the camara when you need it

We decided to take a walk last night. I am not sure of anyone else but when you see water such as a creek or river whatever it may be you all of a sudden are dieing of thirst. We decided the heck with it we are going swimming. So we finally made it down to the water (the Calapooia River) which is right next to us.
We got into the water and normally it is freezing cold because of the snow that comes off the mountains. This water was AMAZING! It was perfect. No freezing water. I know one thing we are going back there often! Its a walking distance away for heavens sake.

Its been so beatiful, I think I need to go outside and knit or do some gardening!

Roses and chickens

Yesterday we got 4 more chickens! They are beautiful chickens and are almost at the age of laying. Once they all start to lay eggs we can make sure our family does not go with-out eggs. LOL They will have more then they need.

Also my mom got a beautiful Rose that is like orange and yellowish. I have never seen a Rose like it! Plus I have my "HAIN" rose. It is purple. The same color I use alot in HAIN! Its really pretty too!

I have been babying a chicken we thought was going to die. But I doctored him up and I think she will be ok.

Last night we went on our walk (which I need). We decided to walk further then we typically do. It was so beautiful!! The sun going down was such a deep orange color. Just beautiful. It lit up the clouds and turned the tips of the clouds orange. Plus the mountain's we live around set the scene for a beautiful walk!
Walking every night has given me time to think and spend time with my husband. Our kids are happier here then when we lived in town. I am too!
