Morning Yoga, Hummie style

Happy Saturday!

The morning started with the four of us (hubs, me, my SIL and BIL) having breakfast on the deck, under our gazebo while a gentle rain fell. As we visited and sipped tea, the hummers treated us to their morning antics which included some spontaneous "rain baths". Because hummingbird's legs do not allow them to walk (being too short) they don't take bird baths like most birds. One of their favorite ways of bathing is to fly through falling water - rain or a sprinkler. This female hummer was sitting on a branch enjoying a vigorous little shower. You can almost feel the joy, can't you?

And by coincidence, last year's blip on this day was almost the same!

I took another shot of her HERE and a shot of P-Hummie hovering near the cherry tree HERE.

A surprise visitor today was Sylvia Squirrrel who is still ridiculously pregnant and looking a bit like a furry soccer ball with legs. Poor thing has to waddle to her tree now. Hopefully she will give birth soon!

This afternoon involved a very long nap for me which was much needed and felt decadent. Now back to tea and maybe cocktails soon on the patio. While I was sleeping, Lemmy the chipmunk has been cadging peanuts from my SIL - Linda has learned where the peanuts stash is kept and has made a new BFF in Lemmy.

Off to enjoy some family time. Thanks for putting up with my lack of comments, but family first. :)
