Hmmm, Hmmmm Good!

Hola! There is a storm brewing. We have some clouds rolling in and I am happy to say that we have had about four really good afternoon storms this week. What I am not happy about is that I spent most of those days in bed with a terrible bronchial cold.

On Friday morning I told Senor I had to have an inhaler or I had to go to the IMSS clinic.
I could barely breathe and it was a little on the scary side.
Senor left me wondering where I put the clinic papers and returned with an inhaler. I was better within minutes.

I have chronic bronchitis, but have not had much of a problem with it in over ten years. I used to fight my Washington doctor to get an inhaler. No, that is abuse of an inhaler and you do not have asthma, he would say. I eventually found a doctor to prescribe an inhaler, but like I said, I have not this kind of problem in a long time.

But I know for a fact if I use one, I get better faster and evidently, you can just buy them over the counter here.

So what might once have been a two week bronchitis attack and once, sixty three days of laryngitis, at Christmas time, will never be again. Because I am in Mexico and I have an inhaler! I am very happy and on the quick mend.

The yard is now jungle territory and today, with more energy than I have had in four days, I checked a few things out.

Lift off has occurred at the homeland.

I was able to finally get some close ups of the nest. You can see some of the seeds and pods, pieces of bark, and most interestingly, the spider webs mama used to build this sturdy little home.

I think the little brown droppings are hummingbird poop! Never in my life did it occur to me that I would be taking photos of hummingbird guano. How exciting!

When we were last in Obregon, I discovered hummingbird feeders for sale at Home Depot. Today I finally made my sugar water, 4 parts water to 1 part sugar, and I bring it just to what I call the 'snapping point', where the water starts to pop a little and is getting real close to boiling. Then I turn off the burner and let it sit until it cools.

So, now, just in case Mama BoPeep and babies Roy and Eugene, are hungry and still hanging around these parts, they can have some of my hmmm, hmmm, good, sugar water!

Thunder! Lightning........and the clothes are on the line! gotta go! adios, linda lou
