i've been quite under the weather here of late. not to mention ol' henry leavin' me as he did, and tried to find some humor and or comfort in this life.
my dear, sweet mom has been comin' & tendin' the many flowers that encompass my lil oasis. bless her heart! i'm so very glad that she did :) she doesn't trek over at the crack of dawn, so i'd had no word on my lil hummer bud who likes to give me a "what fer" when i'm waterin' his favorite flowers & don't see him... and he gets watered as well.
has been so hot that the birds have been most quiet durin' the day, no bathes taken in the waterfall. no battles fer the best rock to feel that coolness of the water softly bouncin' off the falls. jest an occasional common sparrow perched on the pergola outside the livin' room window, pantin', poor dear.
i've worried much about my critters, although someone has taken the time to tend 'em, it's jest not the same. i miss the calls of my horses in the mornin'. i've missed bein' in their presence, their soft breath on my shoulder when i give 'em a hug, or the comical movements they make when gettin' scratched at jest the right spot. i talk to the critters, the flowers, the trees. have discussions with most everythin' livin' on the place or flyin' "my airspace". has been a stressful time fer me at least.
sunday afternoon as i lay semi-conscious in my chair tryin' not to nod off yet again, i heard a "thump" on one of the livin' room windows (lovely view to the pond). i thought another poor bird had smacked it's head, so slithered outta the chair and crawled across the room to take a peek. lo & behold! it was my hummer!! he'd not smacked his head, but apparently had come to check on me & say hello. he hovered the window by my face fer what seemed to be an eternity, a priceless point in time! i was so overjoyed that tears had begun to well... i went out on the porch with mom that eve when she came to water. i dunno if my lil hummer friend was checkin' on me after all, or was tryin' to tell me that the cardinal flower vines had started bloomin' & he was most happy, lol.
oh, the drops of rain? we were blessed with an unmeasurable, but pleasurable shower that started about 4:30 this morn. was so delighted to see it! sat with the back door open, soakin' in the cool freshness of the air, hearin' the drops softly fall upon the metal, was truly a delight :)
