Ruffled Feathers


This hasn't been the year for capturing hummingbird photos.  The ruffled feathers in the above shot make me smile though.  We all have days when our feathers get ruffled, right?



The visible branches are on a Mock Orange shrub that sits very near a hummingbird feeder.  If you would like to see this lovely bush in bloom, I've got you!  Just hop over to THIS POST.


This little one was keeping an eye on the feeder and seemed quite reluctant to share.


How does God pack so much attitude into that tiny body?


What's happening in your garden?

    You didn’t identify what species of hummer is in your photos. I was curious about that. It’s always fun to see them.

    How adorable! It's hard to take photos of these birds. We have more butterflies right now.

Have you ever been enjoying a nice, quiet day of crafting, then BAM your jar of ModPodge falls off the table, splatters across the floor, and onto one of your favorite toss blankets?  Well, that happened to me right in the middle of this project.  Talk about a big, sticky mess!  Not to worry, though.  We have hardwood floors.  First, a dish towel was used to mop up most of the glops.  I had the thought to use rug cleaner on the afghan and also sprayed foam across the glue swirls on my floor.  The toss blanket made a round in my washing machine and came out unscathed.  A quick wet mop restored my hardwood floors.  Now, back to my nice quiet day of crafting.

This project has already failed twice.  TWICE!   Originally, I wanted to create a sustainable gazing ball that could be used for many seasons.  A beautiful glass gazing ball has been purchased for my garden every year and every year something happens to break it.  There has to be a better way!
