humming bird love

The little guys are back for the fall and my Rosie (definitely a bird girl) is enthralled. She has named this fellow Red (for his ruby throat) and he sits nearly all day in the crepe myrtle by the window trying to protect what he sees as his feeder (Not a very good picture, I know.). They chirp and dive and buzz by incredibly close as we sit on the porch swing.

Yesterday, this book arrived and became an instant favorite. The photos, oh my. And such a sweet story for all ages. Soon after we finished reading it I just had to put the dvd onto my wishlist.

I hope some of you also get to enjoy the hummers on their way south.
Autumn is coming!
