Remember that phrase from back in the day? Well, I didn't need a spoon this morning. :( I bought some new toothpaste last week and started using it this morning. OMG! It caused me to literally wretch during what is usually a refreshing moment. It's by Crest and is their PRO-HEALTH, whitening paste for sensitive teeth. It upset my stomach until the afternoon. Yuck! I read the tube and one part says "if more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away." I usually don't swallow my toothpaste, and I don't think I swallowed any this morning, but Holy Cow, what a reaction I had. Why would a product like this be on the market??? So, I made a special trip to Lago Vista this afternoon to get a new tube of toothpaste. I dumped the whole tube I used this morning.
I switched out refuge vehicles this morning in preparation for the first bird tour tomorrow morning. Looks like I'm going to have to set my alarm for six, so I can get everything done and eat a nourishing breakfast before heading out. :-0 I sure hope we find what we'll be looking for! Some of the folks signed up are from as far away as Virginia. Wish me luck.......
Can't end tonight without a couple of shots of the female black chinned hummer.
These mighty mites really fascinate me. They move so fast that it's a real challenge to photograph them. Notice how this little gal is getting her tongue ready to sip the nectar in my feeder. She hardly gets a chance to eat with all the males pursuing her. Their U-shaped pendulum displays this evening were at least forty feet from end to end. I could almost feel the wind from their wings as they swooped up and down within inches of my nose! So cool......
Thanks for stopping by....talk to you later, Judy
