Cop Car….do NOT ask what KIND of little birds!<\/p>\n
I was sitting at the sewing machine yesterday, looking out the window over the garden that surrounds the front sidewalk, and this really big bug flew by.\u00a0 Wait…..it’s not a bug, it’s a HUMMINGBIRD!!!<\/p>\n
I have a buddlea\u00a0 shrub in the gardens, a butterfly bush.\u00a0 It’s one of those with the raspberry colored pannicles. There were several hummers checking it out.\u00a0 The birds were a medium sage green. \u00a0 I couldn’t really see their wings because they were beating so fast.\u00a0 I’ve seen pictures of ruby-throated hummingbirds, but I didn’t see any red on these birds.\u00a0 When they were finished with the butterfly bush, they moved on to the red bud tree, just checking to see if there was anything else that interested them.<\/p>\n
The butterfly bush also provided me the chance to see the first monarch butterfly of the summer!<\/p>\n
Later, working at the kitchen sink, I discovered that hummingbirds and gold finches were swarming over the herb garden.\u00a0 They both were checking out the purple cone flowers, and the hummers liked the basil.\u00a0 The catnip was filled with finches, something drabber than the goldfinches.<\/p>\n
I wouldn’t be offended if you called me “a country mouse.”\u00a0 I do love the view out my windows!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
