Hummingbird

"Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away"
- Seals and Crofts

Ohmygod. I saw a hummingbird today!
.
I was communing with the ivy along the front walkway, trying to convince it that it did not want to cross the brick edge work along the stone front path, when there he was. Hovering his tiny self, wings going a zillion miles a minute. He was eyeballing the bright deep orange impatiens in the flower urns containing the elephant ears.
.
Now I know what I need for my birthday: a glass hummingbird feeder.
.
Although, you're right: if you have to boil the sugar water concoction, I am not going to do it. Much as I adore them, I would not cook for hummingbirds.
.
Thank god I don't have to feed Orchid.
