Little Visitor

Jasen went down into the garage earlier today and was met by a little hummingbird that had somehow got itself trapped. He opened up both doors, but the poor little thing just kept smashing into the windows. As the bird stopped to take a breather Jasen went over and gently picked it up. I have never seen a hummingbird up close like that, they are so tiny and delicate. Thankfully once it regained it's composure Jasen set it down and he flew away unharmed.

Wow! That is so neat. I really love birds and I have never personally seen a hummingbird that up close before either! They are always so fast and zip by before you can get a good look. It is beautiful! Poor thing. I am glad she was ok and was able to fly away. It's neat you got such great pictures, I love it!

That might be one to send to the newspaper.

What a neat 0pportunity to see the little hummingbird. Sorry to hear about the virus that went through the house, but praise the Lord that you escaped it! The pictures you took of your trip to Florida look so fun. Jaden and Adam look so proud of their Daddy with the fish. Thank you for your sweet words on our blog. We will still get to see how you are all doing thanks to your blog.
