Red Curls

Look at that curly and red hair on little Lexie.

I remember the day.. Her father told me he got my  my hair.  See I got your curls and it has red high lights.  Maybe that little boy with dark curly hair knewsomthing his mother didn't.   

More grand babies.

 Who couldn't love  these faces.
 
Logan and Lexie  Taylor
 The sweetest little guys ever and what a happy little baby. 

 Benny, Christina and family were here last week.  How we enjoyed them. I hated the week to come to an end.

And then they were off again and back to Mo. 

Humming Birds

 We have tons of humming birds this summer.  They are just like flys, flying around  our patio.  They are use to us, that they will fly within inches of us.  
I have counted as many as 13 drinking at once, and that is not counting the ones fly around waiting for an emepty spot to drink from.   They are slupping up  over 1 1/2 cups of sugar every day.  I just went to Sam's club today and bought  25 pounds more of sugar.

 This little guy was guarding one feeder just for himself.  He was getting fat, not enough exerise. We called him fluff ball.
 After a couple of weeks he just gave up the guarding.  Too many others .

I love them.  .  I have them trained they will drink what ever color of sugar water I make. There for a while they didn't want red go figure.

Mocking Jays

 When Melissa's children was over here, a couple of weeks ago.  They were bored as kids goes, so grandma came up with an idea.  She told them she would give them $10 if they could catch the mocking bird or any other bird in my backyard.  Mocking Jays as they started to called them. (Hungrier Games).  To work they went with the net Grandpa let them use. And traps set all over the back yard.  No luck.

 Then they wanted to know if I would give them $10 for a humming bird.  yes.  Willow had a plan just stand under the feeder and wait. She waited and almost got one.  Look close you can see it.
What about the lizards that lives there.  yes.  How about the Japanese beetles. yes, but only a $1 each.  At last they found something they could catch.  It didn't cost Grandma much that day, and they were busy all day long.
