!They are back!

Hummingbirds, that is. One sighting in Boulder north of me on April 2nd, and I seriously didn't believe it because there had been no other postings of sightings anywhere in Colorado, not anywhere, on two different migration maps.

However, Trinidad CO had a sighting on 4/4 and Colorado Springs had a sighting on 4/5.

I used to have a golden safflower feeder up but drought where it was produced caused a big drop in production and you couldn’t buy it. I put up a sunflower feeder instead but it doesn’t attract the same number of birds. Stopped by the bird store and was so happy to see it back on the shelves. I will clean the feeder and get it back up today. And due to our WONDERFUL weather I just might be able to get my feeders up today as well.

My yard is a stopover for migrating pairs of ducks and I just had my first couple show up. They usually like to drink and sometimes sit in my water dish but no need today because of the deep melt puddles in my yard .

It was a lovely day here both with sun, warm temps and a nice outdoor lunch with college friends. Even though the weather was a tease it made me feel like summer is just around the corner.

The weather is so pretty out! Sunny and warm

First day with open windows. Enjoying the fresh air and the sound of the birds. Not enjoying the smell of the oven self cleaning but getting it checked off my to do list.

I just completed the first yearly "quiz" of a new competency program for my professional registration. It's to help ensure that we meet and/or exceed our professional standards as it relates to public health care. I only got one question wrong!!!!! And the question I got wrong IMO isn't that bad as I answered the question being overly cautious so I highly doubt I will have to move to "phase 2" of this new program, which would dive deeper into my practice and knowledge of standards. Not that I have anything to hide, or that I don't know what I'm talking about but being tested in any format stresses me out so doing well in part one probably means it ends there for me. I'm one of those who keeps an A/B average all thru school but completely chokes on final exams due to being nervous......SO GLAD I'm not in school anymore...it's been years of course but I'm still the "terrified of tests" type person.

I did it! WOOT WOOT!

After going to the gym this morning DH and I brought home 25 bags of mulch which we finished putting down. We're both thoroughly beat but it's a good feeling to start the season off right.

A workout for sure!

Yes, definitely a good workout especially since it was 83 degrees today. We probably should have waited until next week when it's supposed to be cooler but I didn't want all those bags sitting on the patio because they're predicting strong storms tomorrow.

While we were out I took a pic of our magnolia tree blooming since the storms will most likely wash away the flowers.

My thrown together pot of sauce came out delicious! And I found a loaf of garlic bread in the freezer.
