Spring has sprung! Wonderful sunshine and warm weather, at last. What a treat yesterday to open the doors and windows and let in clean, fresh air. I love the sun! I love warm weather!
I was standing at the big window, looking at my yard and all the work that needs doing and the feeders that need cleaning and filling when I heard a noise outside the south living room window. There he hovered, in all his bright and colorful glory, the first return hummer of the season, letting me know that he's home and his feeder is missing. Needless to say, the first order of the day was to take down all the feeders and clean them, replace winter feeders with spring feeders and above all --- put out the hummers' feeders. By the end of the day he'd not only returned to the feeder outside the window, he made sure the porch feeder was out and filled as well.
This morning I watched as the "scouts" came to check and make sure their spring and summer home is ready. Each day now there will be more and more feathered friends returning. Some will stay through the summer and some are simply vacationing. They're all a welcome sight!
