I Saw The 758!

You know I told you I would let you know when I had the first hummingbird sighting of the season? Well, look right there in the upper right hand corner of the picture by the hummingbird feeder. Do you see him? NO!? Well I don't either...he was too fast, and I didn't get a picture of him. But he flitted past. Maybe he was just letting me know they were back. Those of you who know our family know that we name our hummingbirds. Yes, we do! Really. It happened four years ago when we noticed that the hummingbirds ("honeybirts" as our then learning to talk toddler called them) would come one at a time on a schedule. We could time them! I'm not joking. We had a 6:21 am, 8:05 am, 12:29 pm, and a 4:21pm. We'd say, "Here comes the 421!" It was fun. Though they aren't at the same time from year to year, they come on a consistent schedule once they arrive. So yesterday morning I saw the 758. I'm sure he'll be back right on schedule. However, last year they must have spread the word about how yummy and sweet our "honeybirt syrup" was because we had 3 or 4 come at a time and have air raids against each other as they tried to drink. Maybe I should hang a sign that says, "Notice, yummy territory! No conflict tolerated!"
If you've read my blog since I started in January, you know that I love to stack these glass pedestal bowls. The white milk glass one is from my husband's grandmother and I cherish it so much. Many times I put a glass platter on it to serve cookies or other delicacies (not usually stuffed snail) on it.

I found a beautiful milk glass platter at a yard sale for $2.00, and though I thought that WAS indeed a bit pricey ;) I snatched it up and brought it home. I'm very happy with it. The 2 colors of white don't match, but hey, that's what I love about all my rescued treasures. They all live together in harmony. When I think about it, that is what makes life fun, with the love of family and friends. We may not all "match" in our opinions and what we need and desire, but we can compliment each other and live together in harmony.

All week I've been looking for a "Little Golden Book" called (I think) "There Was A Little Girl". It's based on the poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Remember...there was a little girl, who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead...when she was good etc. No pressure or anything, but um, I need it by 4:30 today. I've got a group drooling to hear what I have to say about it! (that's silly) Actually, I've got everything worked out, and everything I need is taken care of, but I'm curious, does anyone have that book, or am I the only one who has ever seen it?

Have a fabulous Friday. If it's not fabulous, make it that way anyway!

Love, Rachel
