28-Apr-2008 - Hummingbirds are here!


I put out our hummingbird feeder on Saturday afternoon. Within an hour or so, we had a steady stream of visitors. I am suprised they found it so quickly! The kids and I have really enjoyed watching them. They are so very tiny. These were two of our first visitors.
I think I'm going to get a couple of other bird feeders. We have a great place to birdwatch next to our dining room window. At our other house, we didn't really have a good window for observing the birds without being intrusive.
Spring has definitely sprung! It's been a beautiful day. Harold & the boys worked outside sprucing things up and doing a few repairs. I caught up on laundry and cleaned out the pantry (doesn't that sound like fun?).
Our dogs already have had several ticks on them. I'm afraid it's going to be quite a year for that. I'm going to need to keep the kids hair cut or their heads checked regularly.

Beautiful! I love bird feeders. I haven't tried one for hummingbirds yet... I have never seen one around here. (oh because I don't have a feeder?)

This reminds me that I have GOT to get a new feeder. Ours broke, and I love to watch the hummingbirds
Amen! on your post about homeschooling moms being critical or looking down on those who don't do it "right" (that is, their way, the homeschooling politically correct way). I see it in many areas~scheduling, curriculum, eating....
I hate I didn't know you were back to blogging more. I love your new blog look and seeing your picture.
