  Dear Patsy–
  
  You mentioned moss–I do have one stump in back covered in it.  A little dry now–but rich green velvet
  after last rain.  I think previous stumps were covered in moss, until
  they finally caved into the ground.  Have been moss in past when more
  grass back there but varies over time.
  
  I’d given up on the
  clematis by the mailbox though still watered there.  It has since seen
  fit to give me a flower and some buds.
  
  Saw only my second bluejay this summer at feeder.
  
  I
  guess hummingbirds like roses.   A green one was resting in orange rose
  blossom like a nest.  Looked cute but didn’t show up in cell camera.
  
  I’m going to have to adjust the paths in the front yard–the rose bushes grew more than I expected.
  
  The little sunflower by itself in the middle of the yard makes me smile.
  
  Still waiting for spring crocus and daffodil bulbs in the stores–haha.

  Lots of  color outside my office window.   Orange rose bush, and smaller bushier “knock out” bush of pink-reddish roses.  Purple roses taking a breather.  White rose bush on other side of walk.   Some type of white iris-like flowers in a patch.  Queen Anne’s Lace.  A  small single  yellow sunflower in one spot.   By porch  butterfly bush with purple lavender flower cones–which bring butterflies and hummingbirds.

  Lets see.  Last week did night walk and the  Saturday mountain walk at Panola Mountain Park

  And–not that I’m out of order–haha–week before that went to the GSU Observatory at Hard Labor Creek Park.  Saw moon, Jupiter, the International Space Station, stars and lightening bugs.

  And–for something different–the upcoming Oliver Hardy Festival in Harlem, Georgia.

  Amazing how quickly a mouse can go bad.  Maybe it’s ball needs to be cleaned, though the pad looking a bit slick.
