Sorry about the storm damage, Lin! Now we're moving back to warmer temps (80's again, but shouldn't complain!) and more sunny day, the humidity is hitting us BAD. Ah, there's always a downside to it, isn't there? Was out doing stuff in the garden and had to come in, sweat dripping and all that. Besides, I shouldn't be in the sun much with my history of skin cancer. There's actually been flowering plants blooming out in the wild places lately. I think there's even somewhat less wildlife coming to be fed/watered. The birds, however, are here in force...God forbid I should be late getting their birdseed out there. And took the hummer feeder in to rinse out and refill and then when I went back out for something from the garden to add to my tea, there it was...that hummer flew up to where the feeder should be and hovered there...and of course, I realized I'd gotten distracted and hadn't taken care of that feeder yet! Shame on me! Heh-heh! Sometimes I feel like I'm feeding too much wildlife, but then, too, the precious little hummers should be treasured...they'll soon be gone, and I'll miss them SO much!
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
