Creation Is Telling
On Thursday I will be here at Laced With Grace. This is a little bit of what I've written about:
I expect to see them any day. Perhaps they are waiting for the absolute promise of warm weather – after all, they are predicting rain and cold temperatures for the latter part of this week. However, I know they will come. They arrive every March without fail.
I took the feeder down in September, when it was apparent they had begun their journey south. It is hard to imagine such tiny creatures traveling hundreds of miles to spend the winter months in another country.
We had one as an over-night visitor one summer. I noticed him clinging to the feeder as the others flew at him. He finally fell to the ground, and we rescued him. His tiny wing had somehow been injured, and he couldn’t fly. I couldn’t imagine how he would survive, but we made him a tiny bed in a little box and offered sugar-water...
Blessings,

I went over to see if it was there but apparently I'm too early since it's still Wed. night...but your first paragraphs make me want to read on...:)

As a fellow bird lover, I enjoyed your post immensely. Blessings to you!
Beautiful post...I too, await the 1st hummer, they seem a little late this year. I did see a Goldfinch yesterday. He must be a straggler, all the other Goldfinches left a couple of weeks ago.

Sweet! I am looking for some signs of change. Spring. We have hummingbirds in the mountains and when we are camping....they buzz you while you sit outside reading. It scares you to death at first. There they are...right by your head...flapping away (o:
We don't get many hummers around here, but we've enjoyed cute little finches all winter long, right outside our kitchen window.
