Sitemeter woes
Is anyone else having problems with sitemeter? Mine was working just fine one day and then turned into a "black box" the next. I can click on the box and see the statistics page, but now it just gives totals and doesn't break down the visits by location, etc. Not that I really care but it's sometimes interesting to look at. I had decided that when I reached 500,000 visits I would stop blogging, but it looks like I've reached 590k. I am enjoying the hummingbirds that I thought would not show up again after my long absence. How do they know there is fresh water in the feeder?I experienced a "first" for me - went to pick up my eye drops at Costco, walked around the store a bit, but left with only the eyedrops. I don't know how I managed to not find something I had to buy, and it was a test of willpower. I will need to cut back on a lot of things to pay the four payments I have to make to the chiropractor. I'm glad I had enough left from my trip to take a chunk out of the total. If things continue as they are, it will be worth every penny of the cost.I'm looking forward to my weekend. I have enough to keep me busy during the week, and will be happy to just visit the farmer's market tomorrow morning. I might just drop by American River brewery as I haven't had a beer for a while and think I'd like a glass or two of good craft beer. It's a shame my house and lot is so tiny and has really nowhere to sit outside. My front porch is nearly on the street and hit hard by the afternoon sun; the backyard is just gravel; and the driveway has nothing to make me want to sit out there.

Waiting Out The Heat
It's still unbearably hot, but after the triple digits all this week we will get back into the 90's. I never thought I'd be relieved to be in 90 degree weather. Have I said how much I hate hot weather? I dropped...

They're Back!
I set out a new hummingbird feeder a week ago and was wondering if the birds would ever come back. Two days ago a big one appeared and stayed for long enough that I could get a good look at him. I was thrilled and to celebrate I fixed myself...

Cooler Weather
Today turned out to be in the 60's with the sun shining most of the day. I did 2 loads of laundry and had it hanging on the line - about 3:30 pm I looked out and the sky was dark with clouds. I got the clothes off the line and folded,...

I Forgot To Mention ...
That yesterday Donald had a box of chocolate covered and decorated strawberries for me. I would have taken a picture but ate most of them already. I don't know why the sitemeter doesn't show up on the new Macbook. I access my blog...
