31 Days of March

Happy weekend and the last day in the month of March. This time, there were 31 days instead of the usual 30 so we got an added day. We welcomed spring and time change ahead one hour. Plus, the pollen arrived and had many sneezing and visiting the doctor for relief.

I'm ready to put a flowery plant in the pretty hanger at the front door and watch for hummingbirds to stop by for sips of nectar. I'm heading to get more potting soil this afternoon. Here's a tip ->Add fresh potting soil to the indoor plants before watering. They need a boost from the winter season. Enjoy!

Beautiful Hummingbirds

After jumping online to catch up with emails and other stuff, I glanced out the door leading out to the patio and saw a lone hummingbird flying around the flower planter which contains purple petunias. The bird hung around for awhile going from bloom to bloom and then flew away. I'm fascinated by the hummingbirds fluttering wings and speed. I was glad to be in the right spot to see their beauty. Happy Sunday!

Delightful Sunday

Hello to Sunday and it's delightful! I won't bore you with the details of the weather. I think you probably know by now that it's steamy hot in Atlanta and around the country. The weather folks told us to look for these hot temps for the next 10 days. There is the cutest family of 4 hummingbirds that have been stopping by my backyard for drinks...let me explain that by saying they are quenching their thirst at the birdbath :-) I get my share of birds, but this is a first for the hummingbirds. Last year, I did spot one feeding on the nectar of the hanging petunia flower at my front door. A pretty sight!

I did a small organization project in my closet this morning. I still had some turtlenecks on the shelves that made me hot just looking at them. I put in their place some lighter tops in nice, cool pastel colors. I will admit that I have a serious pet-peeve on keeping clothes of the same color together. You won't find a pair of black slacks for example mixed in with beige or gray. Each color remains in it's section. It's just me, but worth a try in your own closet.

There's one slice of leftover frozen pizza so that will be lunch. I'm thinking stir fry veggies over pasta for Sunday dinner. I bought some good-looking peaches and sliced them in a bowl for a cool snack. Yum is the word!
