What if hummingbirds could knit?
Wouldn’t that be the strangest sight. I am sitting here on the back deck where we have quite a few bird feeders. I am answering emails and working on a new design. I am also being bombarded by hummingbirds.
There are about ten of them and they chase each other through the wood slats and around my head and one was just hovering by my ear. All just a bit disconcerting even for me,lover of all things feathered.
As I watch them it occurs to me that if they worked together with those long beaks and their zippy ways, they could knit like the wind. Teeny tiny little things like skull caps for the flight south. Ohh, and nest liners. Knitting hummingbirds, hmmmm. Maybe they already do knit a bit. I bet they do something similar in their nest building. After all there are those cool weaver birds.
It has been a wildlife filled weekend here. We have twin deer babies and one of them sniffed my hand. He also gave me quite a look of disdain afterwards, nonetheless pretty cool. He probably did not like the vinegar smell I seem to carry with me.
Then while weeding in the garden I felt something by my foot .I was so sure that I was going to be freaked by a snake and it turned out to be a baby bunny sniffing my toes. Awww … so cute.
Lots of babies here, even some of these dive bombing hummingbirds are babies. A good season for babies.
