First hummingbird / first flowers






















Yesterday in the early evening I saw the first hummingbird of the season at the feeder. Just a few minutes ago, when I was out on my porch watering my planters, I noticed some tiny purple flowers blooming. If you click on the photo, you will see them.

It's almost 2 weeks since I started my new/old job. Still trying to figure out how to organize my life with 34+ fewer hours of free time.

I'm grateful for those who continue to visit my blog, whether you leave comments or not. I'm having a difficult time gathering my thoughts for comments and responses, except to say "Thank you, dear readers."

Listen.

You live in a lovely environment.

Well, the fewer 'free' hours, perhaps the more wisely we use them, and the more significant they are, is what I always used to think...

I remember when the first hummingbirds would show up in Port Townsend. They would come to the slider by the kitchen table and stare in at us, announcing their arrival. That's when we would hang the feeder. What a glorious thing spring is.

Fewer 'free' hours are always a downside, but I suppose the spring mood outdoors will compensate for them.

Robin Andrea and Anil P -- Thank you for your comments and your presence and your blogs. Even though my commenting time is limited by my new/old job, I am continuing to visit and appreciate your blogs.

I've just begun to see them down here, too, am. Can summer be far behind?

I can't imagine having to give up retirement now that I'm there, but hopefull the hours you are free will seem more precious.
