Jeeeeezzzzzz . . ..

About a month ago I decided to set up an eBay store . . . Cousin Mike's Basement . . . what else ???  I'm tryin to get my listings up to around 50.  I started the day at 44.  I listed a Corning Ware skillet earlier this PM.  I took a break of maybe 25-30 minutes.  Came back to the computer and somebody bought it.  Can't get my number of listings up to around 50 that way . . . 

That sale wasn't anywhere close to my unofficial record.  A few yrs ago I was re-listing some stuff.  Only takes a few clicks to re-list stuff.  By the time I had finished re-listing the second whatever it was, the first re-list had sold.  That is quick . . . didn't take any breaks either.  

I'm goin all out in attracting hummingbirds to my feeders this year.  Planted some red salvias by the feeder this PM.  The hummers been pretty scarce the last couple yrs.  I put the feeders out Friday evening.  Saw a ruby throated one at the feeder a few minutes ago.  Maybe I'll get some good photos this summer. 

For 2 or three years I had lots regular visitors at the feeders.  One spring, before put the feeders out, I saw a hummer at the front door, all but ringing the doorbell.  I got the message and put the feeders out very shortly after that.  He was in the back yard  'waiting' for me.  I've read that they remember from yr to yr where the feeders are.
