Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

HUMMINGBIRD LANE
The hummingbirds are so active at my daughter's home, they look like bees swarming around the feeders. You can sit in their kitchen and easily count over 20 at a time at the feeders.
The first time I saw a hummingbird I was 4 or 5 years old and it scared me half to death. I thought it was a giant bee! I ran screaming into the house, pulling my mom outside to show her this terrifying spectacle! Now...I think they're absolutely beautiful, almost 50 years down the line! I'm really in to helping out Mason Bees and have two houses on my back porch. I live in the city, but I try to encourage wildlife in my little spot on the globe as much as I can. Oh, and I'm a first-time visitor...saw your comment at Oma's and decided to come say hello! I've been reading your entire page and enjoying every bit of it! Have a great weekend.
I love hummingbirds!
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute and quick and pretty.
They always seem nervous and in a hurry.
Wow!
That's a lot of them there!
