"Hand feeding the hummingbirds!" (maria!)
only days before my last day at alden lane, i noticed in the garden gift store, these 'dots' i think they were called. little individual circle flowers that allow you to hand-feed hummingbirds. i never did make the purchase, but just read a little..
from memory: you first stand near your current hummingbird feeders holding the circle up, and allow the hummingbirds to get used to you being there..
short cut: over time, once comfortable, they will come straight to your hand!
and now, my beautiful artist friend maria "SHE DID IT!"
pretty awesome experience

"moment of nature" -this is how cbs sunday morning show closes each program weekly, with a 'moment in nature' i love these segments! but we tease as of late, because it is hardly a whole moment... more like 15 seconds
anyway, whenever we are watching the hummingbirds on our two feeders, or the birds dining on our seed bells, or the squirrels.. during all of our walks and hikes.. we have so many of our own, live and write now, moments of nature to enjoy
and my favorite as of late.. "cutest couple award goes to..." our neighborhood ducks. and they honor us with a visit now and then.. and we feed them the duck food from an-jans
and next thing you know.. they are watching us from our rooftop..
hanging out in our backyard..
they came write up to our garage and let us just about hand feed them..
so beautiful and charming.. i delight in all of it!

and you know how the Bible has that passage; that scripture about
loving God with your whole heart, your whole mind, your whole soul
/something like that..
well, when i am loving nature and wild life, the plants, flowers, trees
animals.. the way i do
i consider it the exact same thing as loving God
hallelujah & amen
