I began Sunday by baking up some Banana Nut Muffins to make use of some overripe bananas.
While those were baking, I fixed eggs and bacon and then was greeted with the thunderous sound of a hummingbird feeding frenzy as daylight arrived
DH took a video and if I can figure out how to share it, I will. It's absolute bedlam at all 3 feeders.
Mornings on the deck are the best way to begin the day. I know I ought to drive in for church, but I just stream my service and praise Him from my mountaintop.
DH is building a shooting bench in the shop so he worked on that a bit
And I wandered into my sewing room to run a bit of fabric under the needle
Then we dined on the absolute BEST steaks. Reverse sear for the win!
And concluded dinner with fresh peaches and ice cream
We thought the day could not get any better, but then it began to pour
It was such a delightful surprise because the forecast predicted a slim 15% chance in the area. 1.6" in 30 minutes.
The water trough down below the house was under water. The trough is 3' deep.
When it rains like that, the toads emerge
and they began to serenade us
We were treated to quite the symphony
Skeet ran down as soon as the rain quit to investigate the raucous racket
It was the perfect kind of Sunday

Sounds like you both had a lovely day, peace and quiet. Happy stitching!
Totally agree - this was the most perfect day!
What a glorious day! We are lucky to have two hummingbirds at the feeder. Wow yours is really busy! The frogs are really cute! I bet your granddaughter would have fun catching them. Glad you got much needed rain. Is your hubby going to use that chair to sit and hunt? My dad was a hunter but he never had a chair.
An inch and a half of rain! I am so envious - we've had .1 inches over the last 3 weeks and the soil is like talc. And of course the hummingbirds - I haven't even seen one this year!

Your hummer numbers are amazing. I have three feeders by First Nature that hold two cups each of food. I usually only have at the most, six hummers between the three feeders at a time. But, with First Nature hummer feeders, the ports are the same as their Oriole feeders. I have had an Oriole family visiting and feeding for the last two years.

Came for the quilting and found a mountain! Gorgeous there!

Sounds like such a glorious day! Last summer we had hummingbird wars on our property. They were being very aggressive with each other, even though we had 5-7 feeders full at a time. They were almost dive bombing us when we would be laying in the pool. You really couldn't lay back, close your eyes and relax! LOL! This year we spaced our feeders out a bit more, and a neighbor added a few more feeders to her yard, so its been calm this year!
Sounds like heaven. Thanks for sharing.
