Taking It Easy

Today was a gardening day. I intended to just point and let our helper do the work, but then I started to weed and trim and got into it. Pretty soon a couple hours had passed, and then some more, and then I realized I was exhausted. Plus how had it gotten so cold? when we started, I had just hung out the laundry in the sun, but by lunchtime it wasn’t fit for man or beast out there. 

As for the hummingbird--I heard him ticking from deep in the pear tree. When I finally located him, there was no need to hurry. He sat and sat for the longest time. In fact, I wonder if he's still there.They must go somewhere at night.
