Look who I spied on the Hummingbird cam today:
It’s a male ruby-throated hummingbird scoping out some territory for a lady friend (or so I assume). He does not seem all that impressed with the (currently-empty) raised bed in the background. Fair enough; it’s not all that impressive.
But it’s good to have the hummingbirds back, no matter what their attitude.
In a week of meetings, appointments, getting my daughter’s car to the shop, there was this:
This tiny burst of joy showed up in less than twenty-four hours after I put out the hummingbird feeder. Not sure they’re nesting yet. However, one did do a hover and hello when I was working in the garden this week.
Speaking of the garden, that’s where I’m headed right now to uncover—or plant—other bursts of joy. So I’m keeping this check-in short today. My writing this week was slow, steady, and positive, although not very flashy.
