Weekend Addenum
Yesterday we put up a hummingbird feeder. I wasn’t sure whether we’d get any takers but one day I saw one flitting about in our yard so I figured it couldn’t hurt. Indeed, in the roughly twenty-four it’s been up, we’ve had at least six or seven visitors, most of which have come in the past two or so hours — and those are just the ones we’ve happened to notice. But oh my god are my boys thrilled when we catch one in the act. Someone shouts and everyone comes running to watch. Makes me smile every time.
