Nice. What did you get? My daughter hates her Iphone. I might get her a different one.

It's an lg thinq 8. I was overwhelmed by the choices and prices and everything, and currently had an lg stylo 2, so my fiancé was like "I'll just order you the newest lg." I think he thought staying with the same company would be easier for me. I figured as long as it was still an android I'd be good.
It's a lot faster and the battery lasts longer, so far. My only complaint is that everything else seemed to transfer from my old phone except my pictures (even my alarms), so I'll have to figure out how to get them on the new phone.
It's been two weeks and a couple days and Mordecai has gone from 4.67lb to 5.51lb. He was really boney when I adopted him because he wasn't eating and they didn't know what to feed him but I've been experimenting and trying to find stuff he likes. I'm feeling less bone now and more fat and muscle which is a good thing. Hoping he continues to even out that way.
My hubby and I participated in our local SPCA's wag 'n walk fundraiser yesterday. People walk their dogs, enter them in agility and costume contests, get their photos taken with their pets.
We don't have dogs to walk, so we dress up instead. (They won't let us enter the costume contest, though, it's only for the dogs.)
We've been doing this event for 8 years now, raising around $10,000 for the SPCA over the years. It's a fun event--we always get a lot of positive comments about our costumes and people wanting selfies with us.

My dad made a soup for lunch. It's pretty good! It's got like a billion ingredients and I like different textures. It's got all kinds of bean and veggie chunks. It's got a tomato base which I like.
we had such a wonderful fog here early this morning! 
it was 'as thick as pea soup'! i couldn't see anything beyond about 75 feet away or so. i love seeing fog!

It's a beautiful cool, mostly cloudy day so far, which we love. There's a black-and-gold croissant on her blanket next to me, and a tuxedo and a blue/cream in the master bedroom. Nice music on the radio, good work to do, and lots of food in the house. We're getting cat supplies very soon, delivered. And there are roses in bloom!
Hubby's feeling well enough to be back in his bees big time...after last weekend and part of the week,this is a beautiful day!He came in the house at noon with an empty queen cell he's been watching,and it was empty,so she's hatched.In a day or two,he'll look for her and get her marked,which makes her easier to find.Irises have started to bloom,garden is doing well except he'll have to replant the green beans.We had over 5" of rain and they didn't like that very well.Cucumbers and zucchini are up.Time to get tomatoes and get them put out.Had a new bird show up at the suet feeder.After watching her for several hours,turns out she is an orchard oriole.Beautiful!
WOW,
lizzie
! We had orioles in the Mojave. They are so beautiful. I'd never seen real ones before, only in films and nature TV shows. We had irises there, too -- gorgeous. And there were a lot of beekeepers in the general area, though we didn't venture into that. I did get my first beesting ever up there, though -- wasn't sure if I was allergic as a family member is, but I am not. Poor bee, of course, fared worse than I did 
We have Baltimore Orioles that come and raise a family here every year.They build their nest way up in a huge walnut tree,and we usually just see the one pair.I read that these orchard orioles migrate with the others,so I'm hoping they'll stay and raise a family too.I love those irises with the ruffly petals.Beautiful!Mine are the traditional purple, but the fragrance is wonderful!WOW,

It makes me very happy that teenagers are working hard to save the rainforest and the wildlife of Madagascar
I'm watching two hummingbird babies in the process of fledging/leaving their nest. The first one has been coming back and sitting with its sibling 
Aren't they amazing? We had a nest in the patio hedge a few years back. I didn't see the babies or observe their fledging, but it was such a thrill just knowing they were safe in their own little private garden.I'm watching two hummingbird babies in the process of fledging/leaving their nest.

There are some live hummingbird cams I used to watch. IDK if they're still up, but it's great watching them!
I saved my 84 year old aunt who has moderate dementia $400 dollars today. She lives alone so I went over to her house to help her with some chores and she told me that she had creatures in her house that were screeching and had hired an extermination company to trap them at a cost of $400. As we talked I heard the telltale
“chirp” of a low battery alert in smoke detector. It took a great deal of convincing and explaining as well as a phone call from my mom but she finally let me replace the batteries in her three detectors and the chirping creatures disappeared. And fortunately the extermination company was willing to cancel her contract.

Bella hummingbird is the only hummy cam now I think, and one baby is still waiting to put those little wings to use www . bellahummingbird . com
Oh, also I'm seeing a mourning dove who has built her best two house yards away from me, on the backside of the framework of one of those standalone basketball hoops. I'll have to try and get a picture
Good for you @Tobermorey !!

This video is adorable.Now I want to get a hamster so I can bake him a little pie.
Pouring rain, blowing wind and 40ish temps. A miserable day to be outside but everything, grass, bushes and plants are getting greener by the minute. And it is a perfect day to do all the laundry, tidy up, do some baking and finish my latest jigsaw puzzle

I love this time of year. The tulips are in bloom, the trees are flowering, and everything looks fresh and beautiful.
