Wednesday May 16/12 update
Bella is off to Super Maxi for groceries then off to a
cooking class with Bettye and Frances so she has again left me at home to
supervise while
Rosa is cleaning. I happened to flip on the TV when she
arrived and the movie “The Edge” was on, with Anthony Hopkins and Alec
Baldwin. I explained to her that the
movie was filmed near our home in
Canada and how our brother-in-law,
Brian Lyttle, was not only in cameo roles in the movie but he made the knives
used by Anthony Hopkins in the movie. And when I mentioned that he had also made
knives for Brad Pitt, her eyes really lit up!!

I also told her that I was taking photos of the hummers
outside my window and that Tom Thumb usually showed up as soon as I put out the
feeder. Her eyes were pretty wide when
he came, right on cue!
I wasn’t sure if this would work, but I am uploading my
photo video of many of the photos I took on Christmas Eve during the children’s
parade. This is a slideshow done on one
of my basic programs and it came out pretty good. Because of the lack of copyright laws here I
am hesitant to spend a whole lot on marketing DVD’s that they will just turn
around and copy. The upload will take
about 4 hours, and hopefully the internet won’t drop on us during that
time. I went downstairs to watch a long
movie, Dr Zhivago.
While Rosa was vacuuming
downstairs I came back up to check on the video which showed 74% completed,
good! I then opened the window and could
hear Tom chirping so I opened the screen and put out the feeder. Tom is either getting very brave or very
hungry because he came up to it even before I removed my hand! Of course I didn’t even have time to grab my
camera. Then I saw a movement below me
and it was Peso, ready to jump up like any good predator. I just splayed my hand above his head so he
couldn’t jump and luckily he stayed quiet while Tom finished sucking up his
nectar.
After the movie I came up to work on photos and Tom
continued to fly up to the window looking for food and he would hardly wait
again. So here is the result:

This is TOM EATING FROM MY HAND !!!! Too
bad it starting to get dark but it is still a thrill. I am sure there will be more to follow.
Enjoy the pics.
That was today’s excitement. Hugs to all.
