Several years ago we put up a hummingbird feeder
after we visited my SIL's parents home.
Her brother has several feeders and hundreds come.
But, we would be happy with one.
He came.
He comes every year from about May 15th-Sept 15th
almost on the dot. How we look forward to him.
Over the last few years we now have 3, and they remind me of
WWII airplane pilots in a dog fight in the sky.
Some how I have never gotten a picture of them?
They like to sit in dead tree branches, we can not bring ourselves to cut the dead branch from our Oak tree, because that is where he sits before he comes to feed.
there he is waiting to come and looking for competition.
I notice he does not like it when Greta is on the porch.
One year as we were sitting on our chairs on the back porch, he got right in my husbands face, I think he was telling him "thank you for keeping my feeder full and clean with sugar water"
I have 4 days off and tons to do, but as my friend who has been getting chemo said
"our lives are too short"
Her strength is something I admire so much, I know many of you have said prayers for her. They are working, she is gaining strength and out riding her bicycle this week.

So I will watch my hummingbird eat in the sunshine of this beautiful day,
the dog hair, laundry and dishes will always be there but my hummingbird is only here for us to enjoy for another month.
Happy Friday
