These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

Hummingbirds, the Movie

.
OK, here's a little video of the hummingbirds. If you turn your sound on, you'll hear the wind chimes, the hummingbirds, a single woof from one of the pups, and my voice, of course. It will give you an idea of what I get to enjoy watching all day long.




When I was filling the feeders moments before this, the little impatient birds were hovering about 4-6 inches from my hands, watching me pour the nectar into their mini bars! I could feel the wind from their wings! Brave little things!

  3. I just love hummingbirds, my er, near-sighted middle-aged hubby almost swatted one the other week he thought it was some kind of bee! Thankfully he didn't and we got a big laugh out of it.

  5. I LOVE these little birds! I'm not getting as many this year and it makes me a bit sad. Although, I haven't been home as much. They are so much fun to watch. They just bring so much joy.

    I hope you are enjoying your summer days.

  6. You know, Cheryl, I didn't have as many this year, either. Then about a week ago, all heck broke loose in the hummingbird department! I don't know why! And YES, I'm enjoying summer!!

  7. love your birds. we put out a feeder and got nothing. the stuff evaporated before anything came.

    how do the hummingbirds know you now want to see them? do you send a memo?

    we got a really neato glass ball feeder and want to put it out, but alas . . nothing.

  10. Beans, yes. Yes, I sent a teeny-tiny little memo to the birds! LOL! I've used store-bought nectar and made my own, and I get much better results with the homemade. They're supposed to be attracted to the red color in the commercial stuff, but mine don't seem to like it.

    Say it, Dawn. I know you want to. Say it! I'll admit it .... my name is Lyn, and I'm a hummingbird hoarder!

    Caroline, yeppers! Not only is my kitchen capable of producing yummy foods for my guests, but it works equally well for the hummers, too!! Thanks!

If you have something to say about it, just stick out your thumb, and I'll slow down so you can hop aboard! But hang on, 'cause I'm movin' on down the road!!! No time to waste!!!
