Fay, Florida, Hummingbirds & Tomatoes

We hear from relatives in the Northern Florida panhandle that Fay has brought lots of rain to Northern Florida for over 20 hours, dropping an inch an hour since the mid-morning of August 23rd.

They are saying, "Fay has officially broken the drought in N. Florida and Southern Georgia."

Thanks, Lou & Kay, for letting us know you are safe, dry.

NOW... onto the tomatoes and Hummingbirds. I finally got to pick four of my homegrown tomatoes that I planted in huge pots this Spring before we moved. I don't think potted tomatoes plant have the same REAL taste that the tomatoes have that are grown in the ground, though.

It seems as though our summer monsoons have subsided for now with temps are in the mid to high 80's. AND... the Rufus hummingbird has let the Emerald hummingbird partake of his (Rufus) personal hummingbird feeders we placed out. There for awhile I thought that the Rufus hummer had moved on, but I spotted Rufus chasing the Emerald hummer off a couple of days ago. BUT... Emerald keeps coming back!

We hear that Oklahoma's gas prices at down to $3.39.9 this week. Our regular gas prices here in southwest Colorado (Bayfield) have decreased to under the $4 dollar mark ($3.96.9). What's it doing in your area?

This week, this Democrat will be glued to CSpan, CNN, MSNBC and the Democratic National Convention 2008 in Denver, Colorado!
