Pet Sitting

I have the honor of taking care of my dad's pets for a few days this week. 

They are such sweet animals,

and I love the way they bark and meow at me

greet me at the door! 

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that they know I'm going to FEED them. 

They can just sense that I'm an animal lover!

There are currently no critters living with me,

so I have to get my fix when the opportunity presents itself.

It's obvious that they were given strict instructions

prior to my arrival...

...NEVER make eye contact!

They listen well;)

Once we hit forty, women only have about four taste buds left: one for vodka, one for wine, one for cheese, and one for chocolate.

My nose itched, and I knew I should drink wine or kiss a fool.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of spending time with my BFF Chesapeake Bay Woman. 

I'm looking forward to more 

smack girl talk with her tomorrow. 

A good friend is better than a bottle of wine. 

If you have both, you are truly blessed! 

Hummingbirds

When I get home from work in the evening,

I enjoy sitting out on the back porch and drinking wine 

letting the stress of the day

melt away.

The hummingbirds that dive bomb me keep me company are quite amusing!

I snapped some pictures of these wonderful creatures 

over the holiday weekend.

I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do.

These beauties won't be around much longer. 

They usually disappear toward the end of September,

and emerge again in early April.

I plan to enjoy every minute I have with them!

Sunset

I caught a glimpse of a beautiful sunset yesterday. 

It made me happy:)

The days are getting noticeably shorter.

That makes me sad:(
