Hope

All Spring, we watched two hummingbirds busily run (fly) around making this nest. They were kind enough to place it right in front of the craft room window, very considerate those little birds are.

Anyhoo, after months of refusing to allow anyone to go near it (didn't want to scare the little lovebirds off...they needed their privacy!) and realizing that they weren't coming back, we decided to climb up there and take a look...so amazing small. Put my big ol' fat finger there so that you could get idea of the egg's smallness. Wow.

Further up in the tree, there's another set of birds (Jim says they're Morning Doves...do we even have Morning Doves in El Paso?) making a nest. Once again perfectly place on the tree so that I can look at them while sitting at my sewing desk.

I wonder if Zefram is scaring away all the cats from our yard, allowing more birds to nest in the trees.

Hmm, at least the birds don't treat our yard as one huge litter box.
