One the most enjoyable parts of Summer, for me, are the Hummingbirds, the Orioles and any other little bird which eats from the feeders.

Black-ChinnedWe now go through 8 sugar water feeders a day.

Rufus(Rufus)

I know that I have the Black chinned Hummingbirds, the Calliope,and the Rufus.  But yesterday I saw a new one…the Broad Tailed Hummingbird.  I was so delighted in seeing those that I did a happy dance.

Then this morning, as I was filling the feeders, I saw my very first in my whole life…Ruby Throated Hummingbird! Oh, happy dance, jiggity jig!

Oh the joy!  I felt like I was ten years old again and the world was new!

Hummmmm!

Today the Dog Days of summer begin and won’t end until August 11th.  I can’t imagine getting any hotter, but I guess we can.

I also was very mistaken about the Orioles not like the humming bird feeder

Robin

Robins are one of my favorite birds…I rejoice when they return each spring and feel a loss when they leave us in late summer early fall.

Feral-Cat

The night camera caught a feral cat that lives on the farm…he/she is extremely wild, but we do see it here and across the road and down at Misty’s.

Sammmy

Sammy doesn’t much care for this cat so I figure it must be a tom.

Heading out to weed, they are growing faster than my plants.

I hope you have a lovely start of the Dog Days!
