Andy is
working on paperwork for the front porch project. He spent most of the day filling out the permit application and making up a materials list.
Our front porch has evolved over the years. We moved into this house in May 1991. We had a tiny little porch then, if you want to call it a porch. Isn't it dinky?
When Andy re-sided and re-roofed the house in 2001, he took off the roof of the porch. The landing is still there, but in sad shape.
We had an architect draw up plans for a new porch. It will be 14' x 10'. I think it will add a nice finished touch to the front of the house. And then I'll have more landscaping to do! Yeah!

Yeah!We sat out on our deck after dinner/supper with each of us reading a book. I took the camera out there to try getting a picture of the hummingbird. He didn't seem to mind that we were there, but he didn't stay there long enough for me to get a picture. By the time I got the camera turned on and in position, he was there and gone. It must have happened 4-5 times. I finally gave up. You'll just have to believe me that there really is a hummingbird that comes to my feeder.
As for the chipmunks, they are still alive and well and running around like they own the place. We put out the Have A Heart trap, but they are clever enough not to go in it. They're probably laughing at us. Sigh!

I can't believe Andy has another building project! I think I remember it being said that now you had everything built that you were going to do! There won't be anything left to do soon, will there? I haven 't seen any hummingbirds at my feeder, but I don't have time to sit and watch for them. See you soon. Mother
is there going to be a roof over the porch? Then you can get a porch swing and hanging baskets:) I haven't seen any hummingbirds at my feeder but our neighbor said he's seen one at his once in a while. Nice update!
when is there time to sit and read while outside. my neighbor says i've created a monster outside, no time to sit, truthfully, i don't like to sit anyway. hummers are funny little things aren't they? have you seen the courtship flight of the male yet. it's pretty cool.
