They have arrived!



I'm not sure how many hummingbirds we have here, but there are several. They zip around, making buzzing sounds with their whirring wings. I love to see them, perched in the lilac bushes, zooming about the gardens, and dining, over and over, at the feeders. Welcome back,little friends!
