I immediately put the basket on the deck, hanging it on a portable shepherd's hook next to the red bud tree. Ten minutes later we were all in the kitchen, where Hubby Tony pointed out that there was a tiny hummingbird sipping nectar from one of the blooms. I watched as it flitted from flower to flower for several seconds, then flew off.
I haven't seen the bird since then, but since the basket will be there all season I hope it comes back.

I hope it comes back too, for all of us. They are fickle.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about their fickleness. That will make me feel better if I never see the bird again.
DeleteI love it! A gorgeous flower basket and a hummingbird to boot. What a sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteHe does come through sometimes :-)
DeleteI love hummingbirds. We have a large population that lives in the Italian cypress next door. When I sit in the backyard, the birds flit back and forth, I think because my red hair attracts them. Our neighbors on both sides have hummingbird feeders as well as red flowers for the tiny birds.
ReplyDeleteDo the birds get too close to you, or respect your space? :-)
DeleteBeautiful basket!
ReplyDeleteThoughtful son, it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Gorgeous arrangement! And I'm sure the hummer will return.
