I know we have one close by because he is in the garden every morning and I witnessed his courting ritual one day. Did not see his sweet love though. I may just go out to that tree and take a peek. One I did find an empty one in the crook of a branch.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-40391499198528490032011-04-16T20:14:19.354-07:002011-04-16T20:14:19.354-07:00What a charmed life.

I have returned and have missed the interaction of our blogging world. Sharon, I am so excited about your new book. One bird at a time sounds like the best advice ever..I have a great fondess for birds. We have plenty here as I live near a bird sanctuary. I watched a documentary on the Hummingbird recently. I have never seen one before. If it takes me a trip halfway around the World, one day I just have to see one. Will you be adding Hummingbirds to your book?<br /><br />Your life sounds busy. I wish your mission to finish your book all the best~ What a lovely experience to be following your work as you go along.

Every summer we have a Phoebe who frequents our garden. We always know summer is here when he perches on top of my big fountain and swoops down to catch his bugs, making that familiar snapping noise while doing so. My daughter has grown up eagerly anticipating his arrival (along with the red dragonfly who loves our fountain, too) as she knows that's when schools almost over and summer has begun!rebecca sweethttp://www.gossipinthegarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-26224027886547078762011-04-14T04:22:31.921-07:002011-04-14T04:22:31.921-07:00It's been fun watching your account of the bab...It's been fun watching your account of the baby hummers.Donnahttp://mothernaturesgardenevolution.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-67930374487362117382011-04-13T14:18:03.345-07:002011-04-13T14:18:03.345-07:00It is such a treat to see your hummingbird and her...It is such a treat to see your hummingbird and her babies!

So the recommendations MUST be right! Beautiful beautiful birds...I've never heard of a Phoebe, such a lovely name & so glad he was ok. And hummingbirds are a little piece of magic I think - of course, we never see them here except in the heated aviary at the zoo...amazing to see the babies too. Love to you both xoxoRachel Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10294820106746562149noreply@blogger.com
