It was so hot & dry I didn't feel like sitting out there like usual. <br />Thank you Beth for all your nice comments. You're the best at leaving those. I appreciate it. I'm still not sure about getting back into blogging but I am really liking Instagram suddenly. It seems easier??? Will have to look & see if you're out there. Happy Halloween to you too!!Kathleen Paneitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398848263738727723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-79911696761383258712018-10-02T22:42:04.176-05:002018-10-02T22:42:04.176-05:00How wonderful to have such a close humming bird fr...How wonderful to have such a close humming bird friend! It should give you a warm feeling knowing that the birds will leave, but they will come back because they want to.

I start keeping track this time of year because I like to keep out the feeders for a couple of weeks after the last one I see--for the stragglers passing through. After seeing them every day since early May, I didn't see any hummingbirds yesterday or today. :(Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-3512111524863345792018-09-26T19:24:13.070-05:002018-09-26T19:24:13.070-05:00Thanks, Diana.

I discovered a trick this summer to sit at the corner of the front porch and photograph the goings-on in the pollinator garden--including the antics of the hummingbirds. They spend a lot of time there, so if I'm steady enough I can get some decent photos.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-64667091821502897442018-09-17T16:34:13.930-05:002018-09-17T16:34:13.930-05:00Beth, those photos are fantastic!
