Finding The "Good" in Those Days That May Help Us .......Or WILL Help US

Hey all . . . Hummingbirds???? I love them!! I have THREE hummingbird feeders. Each on a different window. I use little wooden bracket that attaches to window with suction cup and hang the feeders. They are SO busy all day. What a treat!! I fee them a nectar of 4xwater and 1xsugar . . . boiled to dissolve sugar. Great enjoyment. One hangs in my kitchen window right where I do dishes and prepare meals. Always a visitor on my feeder!! Blessings!

Rosie my sis
Mom loved her hummingbirds too and
I know she put the same stuff in it you do to attract them yearly
They would come to her front window and also to the kitchen where she had feeders up

They are truly an amazing creature of His IMHO

Loves ya sis
God Bless

My Dear Husband is at home telecomuting and is sitting so that he can view the patio and all the birds. He looks up and watches the finches play on my sunflowers, the hummers go after my orange belles and all even an Albert's Towhee come pecking around.

Sniper, I think back to times when I am low too, the other day, when I was out feeding the birds, one of the little vireos, that are always seeming to play, decided to Top Gun fly by my head and proceeded to land inches from my head. Looked at me, seemed to laugh (gave a call to his mates) and proceeded to fly around my patio. Again, I am so thankful to nature and that I am able to appreciate all of it....

This is one of my favorite sayings.....

Every day may not be a good day, but there's something good in every day.

We have the Amercian finch and I have a feeder onmy step and there are some that I almost step on when I go out my teeen was cracking some seeds for it today they let me get within inches of them. Apart of home . Went picking crows feet today I used to pick them when I was small nice to relive some ggod things of years ago . Like the smell of wild roses and back country roads just to have some peaceful times .I used to like going picking berries and apples too when I was young always found it peaceful.How are things going. lol gail

I'm not sure but I think if you wanted to watch birds even in the city, all thats needed is time , something for them to eat, and a place to put it. While it is true that, the sparrow does not worry from where its next meals comes, it does endure hard times and if there is food to be had, it will find it. Weather it be seeds or bread crumbs,,, suet , fruit or nectar, they will find it. I am not one that can sit still for long but I freeze in my tracks at the drone of humming birds wings. I also will stop work in my shop when a pair of house wrens come in and flit from tool to tool , shelve to shelve in search of a nice juicy spider to feed to their brood. Of all birds , the house wren seems to be the most tolerant of me. They check every nook and cranny in my shop , aware that I am there but unconcerned . They make themselves welcome to any bug trapped in my shop windows and make a big deal of catching the live ones that can't escape through the glass. Ive seen them call each other and double team a wasp , dirt dauber or moth flapping against the window glass. I feel I learn something each time I watch , but am also very much aware of all that I dont know about them. Would that we could do this also with our fellow man. Alas for me, this tiny wisdom comes too late in life.

It's alway the little things that make us smile most, the most simple things.

For me it's when my daughter smiles and does her little giggle. 

When she learns something new, the look of realization is moving.

Going outdoors and smelling the fresh breeze, alfalfa and flowers.

A clear blue sky is just so relaxing and peaceful, because to me it reflects a clear slate.

The sunshine just makes me want to smile. The light gives me hope to see more sunny days.

A rainbow after a summer storm is so beautiful because its pure and untainted in this messy world.

These are few things that I have to remind myself that make me happy. 

They are all easily forgotten when my mind is fogged with pain and depression, but when I see through that haze, they make me smile and happy.
