Welcome, Frances, a fellow bird-lover. I am fascinated to hear about the hummingbirds’ enjoyment of the mimosa blossoms…not something I have here, so I didn’t know. The mental image of those little shiny birds in those powder puffs is lovely. Thanks.

I just found your website today after watching Martha.
It is really enjoyable! Thought i would tell you that
our hummers arrive in Georgia every spring about the
fifth of April and leave about the middle of October, almost
to the day. First the males leave about September,
leaving the females and young. Then one fall day, you
look out the window and they’re all gone. One favorite
flower that they really love are the Mimosa blossoms,those
pink, powder puff blossoms which smell heavenly.Next to
bluebirds, hummingbirds are my favorite birds.

Welcome, LoriProPhoto. I will be clicking over to visit you soon…once I say hello to all the new “faces” today here. And yes, aren’t Martha’s horses amazing? (All I’ve got is some stray frogboys and a stray cat, all of whom adopted me years ago and seem to like the place enough to stick around.)
