I was buzzed the other day - literally - I thought it was a moth but it turned out to be a hummingbird! He was right next to me. Our 2 plum trees by the deck seemed to be his favorite-understandable, they're so good--we ate a ton of them this Summer. (He may have also gotten some of Rush's apple juice on the patio table.) Then, last night he came back, and Daniel and I watched him for awhile. At the hardware store this morning, Daniel bought me a feeder and four birds have been fighting over it all afternoon--they found it immediately! They're soo cute, I just had to post some pics.
In other news, we are all well- with the exception of a small fish hook going into Ryan's finger. Ugh! But he's fine now and it's just a little mark. Luckily Daniel was here with me to get it out. Also, Richard yanked another of his teeth last night. (The previous tooth fell out while he was asleep.)
We are loving the cool weather here in SC, it feels like Fall! There's a few red leaves too ---but, we'll have to head back on Wednesday. (It's very hard to leave... ) But I'm promised we'll return soon for some hunting! (No, not me, just Daniel)

Fantastic photos! I was buzzed tonight also, but it really was a moth! I don't think I have seen a hummingbird since we lived in California, which was 20+ years ago.
Enjoy the cool weather!
Sounds like you guys are having a good time, but I'm glad you are coming back soon. Class just isn't the same without you.
Yay. Sounds like fun. I love teh hummingbird photos. I am jealous. We miss you guys and want you back. OH, I am supposed to tell you, Bob and Jill offered to do the party Sunday at their place. I told Jill I would give her your cell #. Or maybe you just want to call her. She didn't want you guys to get home from vaca and have to do a party. I feel bad, here it was my idea and now you all are taking over. Anyhoo, let me know when you can, or like I said, just call Jill.
Great pics! My mom has a hummingbird feeder right outside her breakfast room window, and we watch them all the time (when they're still "in town"). They are so cute, but they can be very territorial. It's crazy...there's 5 or 6 feeding holes around the feeder, but there's always one bird that will not allow any other bird to light on any of them while he's there. =)
Hey! Bring some of that cool weather back with you, okay?
