I remember at the beginning of one hurricane we had some friends visiting and the husband was taking video of hummers at the feeder which was swinging madly and saying, in a broad Yorkshire accent “you brave little sods”. You have to be a Limey to hear that. We thought it was so funny especially as he and his family were somewhat scared of their first hurricane.

Mind you sparrows can be kinda cute to watch and son in law has done a great painting of one.

Loved the pictures Glenda, you have done pretty well. I have never tried taking a hummer, Matt has managed to successfully though.

But yes, what would life be if we didn’t take time to enjoy the flowers and watch the birds? (And don’t say ‘more productive’ or I shall bite, heh.)
