I Found My Spot

I spent part of this evening sitting on my deck with a glass of wine.  The potted flowers are so pretty and they smell great.  My lavender is starting to bloom as well as the strawberries.  Even my tomato plants are getting bigger.  I let Bob the cat out with me because I wanted to see how he would do.  He started out in my lap but soon got down.  He immediately focused on the cat statue I have in the corner.  The statue is 2x the size of Bob.  Bob puffed up and inched closer and closer.  Pretty soon he realized that this cat was no threat and turned his interests to the plants on the deck.  But he stayed all fluffy for a long time-just in case.  lol  

I sat for about 45 minutes just watching the birds and listening to the the sounds of the evening.  A female hummingbird stopped by to get a drink.  She flew away so fast that I couldn't follow. I sat and waited for the male to show up but he didn't.  They are pretty birds and their flight is so elegant.  I love watching the hummer battles for the feeders during migration.  They are so protective of their territory. 

My deck is becoming my place for contemplation and serenity.  At least while the weather holds out.  When it gets too hot the A/C will be my serenity spot.  I am glad its there.  I need a spot I can escape to.
