The Hummingbird and OHIO!!!

I was raking leaves and discovered this on our orange tree.  I've never seen a hummingbird nest until now and look how solid it is! The pic makes it look larger than it is.That 

That evening we made the short drive to Tanque Verde Ranch and after a drink at the bar....

....headed to their "Cottonwood" section for a wonderfully outfitted buffet.  In season, 250-300 people attend but tonight, around 50.  The selection and taste was great while we listen to a performer.

Then, it was off to the Tucson airport for a flight to Ohio.  Looking at the Catalinas, Amy was out there doing a 40+ mile ride.  I'm looking forward to seeing my 102 year old mother, 3 male grandchildren, 3 children, 3 acres of land where I will spend the majority of my time but it's tough to temporarily leave the Amster.

What the heck!!!  We're paying $4.79 in southern AZ but only $3.55 in central Ohio.

Ohhh, then I go to the woods and visit the 3 acres having trees I planted about 30 years ago.  Mostly, mighty red oaks but also cherry, maples, ash and other varieties.  Love it in this preserve!

My first full day ends with watching Anthony in tryouts for an advanced soccer league. He'll make it, he's quite good.
