Gaia's Child

Still

Still here, that is. As we were beginning to clean up after Hurricane Helene, I thought that I heard a hummingbird. I quickly filled the feeder, hung it and with all that was going on...forgot about it. C told me later that she thought that she had also heard one. As I worked in the yard for the last couple of days, I would occasionally hear the characteristic buzz-whir of a hummer. Finally, this morning, there she was...at the feeder. 'Our' hummers are usually gone on their migration by now and this little girl is late. Maybe she'll spend the winter with us. I promise to keep the feeder clean and filled for her if that's her plan.
