I love sitting at my tiny desk, with my laptop in the morning watching all the birds come to the feeders for breakfast and there is quite a crowd this morning! On the mornings when the Cooper's hawk is on the hunt, however, like yesterday, the front yard is quiet and empty. But, today it is happily full. I heard the call of a new little bird this morning, so I'm thinking the migratory birds must be back. Then I heard the soft reply of its mate. That really perked me up! Our neighborhood woodpecker was out pecking and cackling in the mesquite yesterday and I need to fill up my hummingbird feeders this morning. So many chores to do before 7 a.m.!!!
I've got hollyhock seeds planted in the back yard and they have already sprouted in our 95 degree weather last week, but this week will be cooler. It was 57 degrees on our front porch this morning, the first morning to break 60 degrees overnight. Even the bees were huddled in their hive up in the cottonwood. NONE were outside.
...life goes on...
