    We saw our first hummingbird of the season on the first day of spring. It was casually sipping at the salvia greggii near the patio. Hope this is a sign of a good spring to come!
    Hummingbirds make me happy :smt026!

    I like them too, Jane. Too bad that they do not come here.
    It has to be a good sign, doesn't it?

    I am patiently waiting for the ruby throated hummingbirds here...always close to when the orioles come. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will have the hummingbirds and orioles at the lake...our home should be finished in early September for sure...
