So Sad, Summer is Over

As I am sitting in the kitchen, I notice that the hummingbirds have disappeared.  Usually I see one or two in the morning, and then a bunch later in the day.  I keep clean sugar water in the feeder still - the books say that I should keep the feeder up so that migrating hummingbirds will be able to rest and feed.  And then, as I was looking into the backyard, two foxes ran through the trees!  Very cool.

It is time to clean out the beds and take down the tomato plants - blech.  I don't feel like this preparation for winter.  Maybe I will straighten out the garage, clean out closets and do yard work - which I should do.  But I don't want to do.  I would rather take a nap.

Ok, enough procrastination.  I will start small.  I have got some stuff to mail out so I will go to the post office.  And I will finish Mom's laundry.

Saved!!!! Amy just walked in.  I will get up and get started on the small stuff and move towards the other projects.  I am not ready for cold weather and winter.  I need some energy and motivation - some pressure.  I can piddle around and the push to Thanksgiving and Christmas could be motivating.....I will let you know.

Amy saved the day!  Mom has been having issues with her iphone - never mind that she has macular degeneration in both eyes now - I believe she was downloading a ring tone - and it would not ring.  It did take Amy a couple of hours, but she got it to work!  Maybe we should adopt some 8 year old kid to handle the electronics in the house.  It might help.

Love, Leslie
