The cool of the evening

Lately the King and I have been sitting outside

on the deck. The weather has been in the 80's

which seems cool compared to our recent temps.

of 95 to 110.  Which in itself is rare for us.

Especially in June. And early July.

With the quiet of the neighborhood, with a

few barks from the neighbor's dogs... it is

quiet.

So our new entertainment has been watching

the hummingbirds.  We usually have 2.. but

this year we have had up to 6.

The King has even named them.. there is Black

Bart, Greenback, Peewee, 'the twins", and Red

Baron. 

About 6:30....7 pm.. they come  swooping

in and there is a little competition some

times. And we figured out that Black Bart

is not a social one. As he loves to chase

off  others, even tho there is 4 different

feeders out there. The "Twins" like to duel

from time to time..  but run back the same

feeder together. PeeWee is the more social

of the bunch. He will find something to

perch on and watch us.  The others flit from

place to place, flowers, feeders and etc.  But

Pee Wee will sit for up to 15 minutes. Red

Baron only graces us once or twice a week.  

Guess we are officially old people.. as we

entertain easy.. 

This is Greenback

and here is Peewee

one of the twins, looks like Peewee but bigger. 

 unwelcome visitor..

The elusive RED BARON

 BLACK BART...  maybe should be called Grinch..as he is mean
