OK - this photo has been doctored - the kitties are not really watching our little Hummingbird-Mama - however, the photo of the Hummingbird is OUR Hummingbird!!
So, the cat from next door came over to check out the nest early this morning...
Mr. B was out greeting the morning when "Junior" came over from next door. Junior is a very lovable, friendly, brave, not-scared-of-Lulu cat - which of course drives Lulu the Princess Warrior absolutely mad...(but she was unaware and in the front room with me..)
Anyway, Braxton, who was out with Mr. B ,lovingly welcomes Junior into the yard. Remember, Braxie is the Wal-Mart greeter of ShisTzus...
"Sweetie" ..as Mr. B has named the Hummingbird, started buzzing the cat!
The cat, unscathed and uninterested, just turned away and Sweetie kept buzzing to make serious eye-contact with Junior.
Finally, Mr. B "shooed" Junior back home...and all is well with Sweetie and her nest...
We decided to have the young couple from next door and their boys over for a light lunch. Oh, before I forget, Jenny has written a blog!
Yes..and she's not only a great professional photographer, but a very funny Mom..see for yourself at http://brinkel.blogspot.com/
Mr. B decided to keep lunch cool - sliced turkey with cranberry-cream cheese, lettuce and tomato on fresh croissants, watermelon, cantaloupe, salad and grapes.
Jenny and the boys made "chocolates" - some with apricots, some with craisins & nuts and some with, of all things, pumpkin seeds. And they were all fabulous! None left to take pictures of, but insert a big, chocolate smile right about here....
paper plates, minimal silverware...

Okay Im at work and would like one of each delivered to Mississippi. Please it looks amazing.
Awe, I love hummingbirds :)
When i was young my grandmother
and myself would go on the watch
for them. Every year she had a nest
in your big tree. My grandmother
now shares this tradition with my
daughter...via post but it is still
as special.
