a garden surprise

Dec 25, 2009 08:55

The other day I got a real surprise looking out my den window, while I was working. I had put up a hummingbird feeder in the summer after seeing a couple hummingbirds flitting around some of my plants. It was late summer and I wasn't sure how many more I would see, but I thought it was worth a try. I don't think I saw anymore after that and I was just thinking that I should take it down. Then I looked out the window earlier this week and twice saw a little one flitting around the feeder just outside the window. I think it must have missed it's flight down south for the winter, but it was a treat to see:)...(I also saw a pair of squirrels checking out my planter with bird seed ,so I guess I'll have to refill that soon).

This is why I love living in the Northwest and being a gardener. I love the surprises I see,whether plant or animal. There's always something new to see if you only train your eyes to look for it. Too many people are afraid and looking out for bad things that might happen. I try to be on the lookout for good things to happen, because I believe that God puts good things in our days and I don't want to miss encountering His Blessings.

Merry Christmas everyone :)
