I'm Watching You...

These are pictures of our bird feeders in the backyard. It has taken a little while for birds to get used to the feeder, but slowly, they have. Some pictures are fuzzy because of digital zoom. The Hummingbird is thrown in because we have a nectar feeder as well. They just move too darn fast when feeding, so I snapped a picture while one rested on a tomato cage on the back patio.

I'm Obsessed...

Really, I am. Just ask Ben.

I love to read.

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in a story I will do nothing else other than see how fast my eyes can fly down a page and hope my mind can keep up.

Today was such a day.

I got the second installment of The Hunger Games trilogy from the library yesterday evening.


And I finished it in less than 24 hours from the time I got it.

Sad, I know.

Kids neglected.

Check.

House neglected.

Check.

Wall paper removal neglected.

Check.

I. Am. Ashamed.

But...it was AWESOME!! For just a day, I was wrapped up in the world of Panem, cheering for Peeta first, then Gale, then Peeta again.

Ugh!

Only to be forced to wait another year for the finale!

Read it if you dare...
