I didn't even see my studio yesterday. My mother had a bunch of lab work for the pre-op and one had a 12 hr. fast so I took her up to the hospital at 8:30 a.m. to get as much done as they could before I had to drop her off so I could go teach my computer class. We got all of it done except the EKG so I picked her up again at 2:30 for that test. She had a regular dr. appointment at 4 so we were trying to coordinate that into one trip but we here done by 3:10 so I took her home and then picked up both Mother and Dad at 3:45. Afterwards we went to eat and then to the pharmacy for a new prescription. Needless to say, I was wiped out by the time I got home so all I did was prepare for today's quilting class, an all day class, all day fun. But within a half hour after the class is done I need to pick up my parents for Mother's bi-weekly chiropractor appointment.
Now on a lighter note, the Jacks in my backyard are blooming. I had to hold a leaf out of the way to take this picture so I was one handed on the camera and it is a little blurry (but pretty).
This is another group of Jacks.
I hope we don't have a lot of the West Nile Virus killing the blue jays again. I think they are pretty birds and they are pretty well behaved in my yard too.
Does anyone know what this bush is? They were here last year, I cut them down to the ground and it is back, about 5 feet tall, and has these little cone shaped groups of flowers. I have 2 of these in the back yard, new last year, and nothing that I planted.
I thiink this is a white crowned sparrow. Am I right? I have a bunch of them eating here now.
