Hummingbird eating from feeder



I was at Turkey Run State Park this year and they had hummingbirds eating from the feeders. Really neat. That inspired my family and I to buy a hummingbird feeder on our way home. We stopped at Lafayette Meijer and bought one for around $8. We have tried this before and never saw one eat from it however this year we have seen a couple. The past week they have really been feeding from it. Here is a picture of a hummingbird eating from it. If anyone has any ideas on how to keep hummingbirds coming back let me know.

Blueberry Festival 5K run, Ply



On Monday, September 1st, Josh, Jonell, and I started the month off with a 5K run in Plymouth, IN at the Blueberry festival. Josh ran the race for his 2nd time and won his age bracket with a time of 21:42 and he got either 41st or 42nd overall and he won a prize. Jonell ran her first race and did a good job with a time of 33:10. I ran the race for my 3rd time. Josh was sick once and could not run with me. I ran it at 27:29. It was good weather. My legs by the end of the day hurt more than the previous races. I am getting older and next year I move into the next age group of 35 to 39.

Here are some pictures of the race:
