Sept 17 - Hummingbird! And 6 years ago today...

Sept 17th, I'm sitting out back with the cat and the birds, enjoying the afternoon when I noticed a female Hummingbird come buzzing through the yard.  She went to the two feeders I still had out, sipping on the old sugar water mix.  It's probably a week or so since I last made any.  And actually earlier that morning I was going to take them down.  Well, I raced inside and made a fresh batch.  Thankfully she hung around until it was read and we enjoyed quite frequent visits from her over the next 3 hours until we went inside.  Despite some bullying Sparrows and a Hornet that chased her as well, she stayed.  We've seen more Hummingbirds pass through this late summer than ever before.   :)



And 6 years ago today (Sept 17th), I brought this Budgie into our home after she lived outside, visiting our feeders, since late May of that year.  Happy anniversary to Misfit!

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.
