Sitting Pretty

So many hummingbirds in the garden now, including at least 3 beautifully feathered adult males.  Interestingly, none of them are showing any wear in their plumage - usually by this late in the season, I see missing feathers and just general wear as they get ready to molt. This fellow looks spring-fresh.  No editing other than a crop.

We got our first bid on the new roof this morning.  The guy who came wasn't comfortable around Jax (who was barking, which didn't help) so I loaded him (Jax, not the contractor) in my car and took him for a ride while Hubs dealt with the contractor.  We have someone else coming tomorrow afternoon - happily, tomorrow is Jax's day-care date so we don't have to worry about him being overly enthusiastic.  

Hubs and I have been enjoying seeing some of the Olympic highlights.  Last night we watched some of the surfing, skateboarding and women's gymnastics - such amazing athletes.  I especially love watching the surfers as they blast through the tube - it must be such a rush for them.  

I had an appointment with my pain management doc this afternoon.  The injections I had in my SI joints last year are wearing off so it's time to get it done again.  I got about 8 months of relief from the first injections, which I think is very good.  I'm scheduled to go in on the 13th.  I feel very fortunate that the injections worked so well for me - not everyone gets relief from them.  And anyone who has ever had lower back pain knows how wretched it can be.
