T Stands for Tuesday-This & That--Updated around 4pm Missouri Time

   Good morning Everyone,

  Can you  believe it that September is almost over? For me it seems like this month just began instead of ending already.

  I was late for posting to T last week, so thought I would post earlier this week. Anyone is welcome to join us along with a drink related photo-link in my sidebar. Bleubeard and Elizabeth is our hostess-thank you Elizabeth for all you do for the group.

We have been enjoying lovely weather this past week, very cool mornings and then warms up during the day. Went through another pile of rocks over the weekend-mostly small ones. I am keeping one hummingbird feeder out as we are still seeing hummingbirds every day. Yesterday I didn't have a camera nearby but I was looking out the window and the most beautiful little hummer flew in. Very bright yellow-green wings, white under body and pinkish splashes. Looking it up could have been an Anna's

   photo from online-this is the male

or possibly this one a Broad tail hummingbird

 I am thinking more towards the Anna's but the photo shows more green on his chest  Hoping we may see another one this week. The migration has been going on for awhile so we are getting hummingbird visitors that are migrating It is rare in my area of Missouri I think to see hummingbirds other than the more common ruby throat, at least the 20 years at the woods house we only saw the ruby throated-thinking perhaps the lake water might bring others in.

  Cooler weather wants me eating eggs for breakfast now instead of our usual-Bob's Red Mill gluten free European museli-which is all raw gf grains, slivered almonds, and raisins either with yogurt or one of my nut milks.   This little tea pot with a strainer insert makes the perfect size cup of tea.   I have also been drinking a cup of the herb mullein tea for asthma-it really works.

  The mullein plant grows wild here in Missouri, you can dry the leaves and/or the flowers. I bought a bag of organic mullein, and the flavor is actually really good-was expecting not to like it. You may have seen this plant too

 

       I also got a bit more threaded on my weaving project-I have been doing other things so this is still not all threaded-almost now.  and I discovered I missed counted the threads so half of the grey to the left won't get threaded-a first have never missed counted before-ugh

   Saturday afternoon I had fun in my craft room and played with new to me stamps that I picked up used on Ebay (a great place for buying used-almost new stamps) for my October cards and slow mail friends. I ended up making 18 cards. I feel so organized haha.

   Closing with a few lake views-Happy T and new week

 Here is another heron at our  neighbors to the right of us

This morning's (Monday) sunrise-gorgeous

Update:   We have been missing "our" eagle pair lately-they did not disappoint. First there was one-then I heard allot of singing going on behind me on the lake and the one in the tree-then I didn't see it happen but the male flew to his mate and circled the lake singing away-so cool. I tried to record the song but didn't turn out well.

They both ended up back in the tree but not together-had a hard time getting a decent photo with my very old digital camera. Came in the house for a few minutes went back out and they are now sitting together-perfect!

Can you see the two eagles in this photo?
