It was so nice to watch the hummingbirds at my feeder enjoying the nectar as they go in and out of my flower garden. Then I didn't see them near it anymore, so I investigated. Everytime I looked in the feeder a big  yellow stripped bee was enjoying the nectar. No wonder the hummingbirds wern't going in it anymore as the bees were taking it over. So I had to take the feeder down as I didn't want to harbor bees or get stung myself.

Handy hint: Growing up!
For days when you don't have time to read a story, record several on a blank tape. Don't forget to ring a bell so the child will know when to turn the pages of his book. Label each tape with the book title.
Here's a great way to teach a child the concept of time. If you plan a trip to the zoo in five days, for example, make a chain of five paper links and have him take one off every day.
Teach a child the difference between right and left by playing this game. Say "right" or "left" whenever possible in a sentence and cheer if he turns the correct way or shows the correct hand.

This week’s joke:
Alerted by a noise in the garden, a man looked out of his bedroom window late one night and saw a gang of thieves breaking into his shed. He immediately phoned the police who informed him that no officers were available at present.
"Okay," he said, and put the phone down.
A couple of minutes later, he called the police again. "Don't worry about sending anyone round to Woodbridge Avenue to arrest the burglars," he said. "I've just shot them."
Within five minutes half a dozen police cars came screeching down the street and, naturally enough, caught the burglars.
The officer in charge was furious. He said to the houseowner:
"I thought you said you'd shot them!"
The man replied: "I thought you said there was nobody available ..."
Keep smiling!
