When the hummingbirds are back around the nursery, it’s like magic to me. They have all the available flowers you can imagine, plus multiple feeders – They are in heaven too I think. I’ve been watching a few buzzing around this morning while I do my watering… It never gets old 😊
Hummingbirds are tough, tenacious little dudes! I ❤️ Hummingbirds!
This beautiful poem sums it up…
“When the hummingbird sinks it’s face into the trumpet vine, and the funnels
Of the blossoms and the tongue leaps out and throbs,
I am scorched to realize once again how many small, available things are in the world
That aren’t pieces of gold or power —- that nobody owns
Or could buy even for a hillside of money —- that just float about the world,
Or drift over the fields, or into the gardens, and into the tents of the vines, and how here I am
spending my time, as the saying goes, watching until the watching turns into feeling, so that I feel I am myself
A small bird with a terrible hunger, with a thin beak probing and dipping and a heart that races so fast
it is only a heart beat ahead of breaking—- and I am the hunger and assuagement, and also I am the leaves and the blossoms, and, like them, I am full of delight and shaking.”
~ Mary Oliver
Enjoy this beautiful day!
