If we were able to sit down for coffee today, I would go on and on about the hummingbirds.

The hummingbirds are very active right now.

They are everywhere.

Have you ever listened to a hummingbird?

It’s amazing. It is a high pitched trill. Like a sweet little whistle and flutter all mixed into one.

This beautiful hummingbird kept me company for about twenty minutes.

Just what I needed.

I sat down in the middle of the sidewalk and just watched him.

Every time I moved, he would fly off.

But then, if I sat very still, he would come right back to his twig.

{I’m sure there is a lesson in there about getting startled easily or something? I’ll work on that one for you.}

Have a great day!

Coffee Dates  are the sweet creation of Alissa over at Rags to Stitches.

There are so many beautiful souls here in Blogland! I wish we lived down the street from each other and really could meet for coffee.

Thank you, Alissa for creating a space where we can meet and share coffee together.

Come on over!

  1. I would gladly chat with you about hummingbirds!
    We just had babies yesterday.
    They are the *tiniest* things ever.
    Miss you friend!

  2. they are so amazing to watch. I haven’t hung my feeders yet. I want my husband to hang them outside my kitchen window so I can see them wehn I am doing dishes and cleaning up.

  3. Well I have my coffee, and I’ve sat down to visit and see what is happening in the world outside the classroom.
