Good to hear from you Eddie. Sometimes I like a typical quiet weekend more than the action=packed variety.

Your birds reminded me of the hummingbirds I would occasionally see in our backyard in Texas. I haven't seen any since I moved on from Arlington. Now the bird I see most often is the Canadian goose.

Your raging summer makes me appreciate the cooler days we had here last week; couple of days I don't think it got over 70f. But now we're back in a row of 90-plus days. I admit that last year when it hit 90 I was all "Thank goodness it's finally warmed up!" but this year, after another set of Denver seasons, 90 hits me like a ton of bricks.

I hope the djembe makes it back from the shop in good condition and minimal expense.

Thanks Scott. Sounds like your Texas blood has re-adapted to colder climes. Don't know how I would fare now in Colorado, Maine, or Canada from December to March, but I have fond memories of real winters "up north." Ah, to spend a summer in only the 90's.
