Happy Summer
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"hummingbird\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I placed the humming bird feeder out on
a plant staff. Happily in a day or two, a
female humming bird came to our yard.
She is small. Her iridescent feathers
make her seem like a jewel.
She is swift. One moment she’s at the
feeder drinking. The next moment she
flies off.
It’s a joy to witness. Yet it’s only for the
summer.
In August she will fly back south to
Central America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warmer weather enables us to explore and site see.
This past May 26 was our 30th Wedding Anniversary.
Our daughter encouraged us to go away on a vacation to celebrate.
I had been wanting to visit the wild ponies of Chincoteague. I had read both “Misty”
and “Stormy” of Chincoteague books when I was young.
So we went. It was a lovely time.
I posted about the trip at the Links below.

Enjoy,
LG<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soldier Portraits<\/a>
Darla Dixon organized a group of artists who will create no-charge compassionate portraits for the families who have lost a loved one in Operation Iraqi Freedom\/Operation Enduring Freedom.
