  13. Dear Linda - the video of the hummingbirds is superb! I wouldn't get anything done if I had that many flitting about. Just love to watch them. So glad too for the tip on natural peanut butter - dealing with the oil sounds simple now. Thanks for a great post sweet friend. Hugs!

  15. Hi, Linda! I really loved the hummingbird and eclipse videos! Just beautiful! My favorite quote today was "People lie. Actions don't." I find that sometimes I lie to myself about what I want to do, and then I find myself through my actions doing what it is that I truly want to. I've learned to watch what I am actually doing!!! Have a good day, my cherished friend.

  23. I don't see the oil in a jar of peanut butter anymore these days but when I was young, we had that without fail - I remember the brand - Pied Piper made in South Africa and we would have to use a chopstick to stir and mix the oil with the peanut butter right after opening a new jar.

  28. Linda, Love hummingbirds...but I can't imagine attracting 200 of them at once! At best we end up with 3 or so...and they tend to fight each other. One actually got stuck (bill first) in one of our screens. My wife freed him. She also revived another one by stroking his/her breast after the bird had hit a window. As for the solar eclipse, we were right on the line of the total eclipse and viewed it with a bunch of friends. Love great danes but they tend to live a short life. They do consider themselves lap dogs... Thanks for the tip on the storage of natural peanut butter. The reason we haven't bought it is that messy oil at the top. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  31. I've often wondered why there is a pool of oil on top of peanut butter. I've always thought it was because it was natural - a sign that chemicals have not been used. I so love peanut butter.
