Thank you for sharing this. Yoy always in my thoughts and prayers, have a most wonderful day. God Bless you,Julie

  5. We have had these little guys for a few weeks here. To me they are the most amazing tiny creatures. We have to keep our garage doors closed as the little critter will fly in and I have to rescue them. The last bird I rescued was a Downey woodpecker. Peace

  6. Deena,

    The hummers are beautiful. We don't see them here, but my aunt has some that comes back every year to her rural property. She feeds them and always makes sure to buy fuschias in hanging baskets. They seem to like them really well.

    I'm so glad you have such a beautiful spot to watch wildlife and birds. Have a wonderful week.
    Blessings,
    Mary

  9. I guess I better haul out the old hummingbird feeder...I've never seen any around, but their cheap to feed, so I have no excuse, for I may just get a desperate one show up...LOL....they are really fun to watch....my sister in law lives by a little lake, in a wooded area in Michigan, and they are everywhere...she even has a feeder that is suctioned onto her window and they fly up and eat while you can watch....such little creatures....hope your day is full of sunshine Deena.....judy

  11. My husband and I were sitting on the back porch yesterday and a hummingbird flew by. I hadn't made any juice yet, but he will have some today. I have been hearing the little wrens too. Don't you just love Spring???

  12. I can't wait for our hummers-it is an event we mark on the calendar every year-when certain birds come back. I was just looking at hummer feeders today-I want to buy a glass one that is also pretty to look at as well as good for them to drink from.

  13. Deena, we actually have some that nest here in the south and never leave. I've tried looking up in the trees to see their nests, but have only seen one last year and I'm too old to climb a tree. Wonderful pictures. Hope you are doing well. Love and hugs, Pat

  14. Dear Deena, I am so happy to see you are doing so well right now! I have missed checking on you! I have been terrible about keeping up with my friends, they are all mad at me, so, I think I am going to update my website, give my closest friends access and they can check on me from there....is that lazy? I don't want to be any more "tech savvy" than I am right now, which is not very...no twitter for me...check out my post from today if you have time...I would also like to send you a series of pics featuring baby hummingbirds,if you would like...God bless you Deena!Maridon

  16. Hummies are my favorite birds. My feeder is ready and waiting--we have Annas hummingbirds here in our area year-round, and I hadn't had any visiting our feeders for a couple of months, so I was concerned; then my husband saw one at our feeder yesterday, so I'm hoping it comes today--they are so much fun to watch--yours is beautiful! My parents used to have lots of Ruby-throats visit their feeders in Southern California when I was growing up. Hummies were a very familiar sight on our patio. Enjoy yours, and have a great week, Deena!

  17. We have a few of these guys come and check us out and then quickly move on. I think I may get a bird feeder for the hummingbirds. I loved the pictures.
