This morning in the garden the humming bird couple were doing their usual rounds. First checking out the bee balm and day lillies, then zooming up to the geraniums on the deck, and then diving down to the neighbor’s hanging feeder. They briefly paused on the edge of the fence giving me a good look before they bolted off to the next vibrant flower.
In the front garden our family of robins was bonding over the hovering insects near the pond. The adolecent robins still have some speckled feathers on their chests, but they are almost as large as their parents. I’m not sure where their nest was built, but the family made our whole yard their home this summer. Often the robins would follow me as I weeded looking through the holes for tasty worms.
