The chimneys for the table centerpieces are washed and packed securely, I have ironed half of the green chiffon table runners, and I have half vacuumed the bedroom... I need a break from wedding prep! So, time for ..

Bird watch: the indigo bunting has been at the feeder for about a week. I put out the hummingbird feeder and have watched a male hummer buzz around my orange and fuchsia geraniums. All sure signs of spring and right on target for arriving . I checked my blog from last year to make sure. And I saw a pair of Yellow-rumped Warblers. Must be passing through since I have never seen them before.
Butterfly alert: We spotted a Silvery Blue near the snowball bush. Oh, what a beautiful blue. I wish my butterfly book, Butterflies of the Great Lakes Region by Douglas and Douglas, was better at showing the opened wings. Some of the butterflies show both the opened wings and the side view. It would be easier to identify the butterfly!!! Maybe I'll look for a new book.
Ok, back to Wedding Woman.

By this time next week it will be over. Most of the guests will be gone and our house will be pretty quiet. I'm hoping some of the folks will linger awhile and sort of wean me off of all the excitement, organizing, and planning. What will I have to talk about?

The wedding, of course. And I will have pictures.
