Snippets from the River. The purpose of my blog is to engage a reader with personal tidbits as I strive toward my life's ambition: to maintain a simple life. By writing I hope to understand why 'Maintaining a Simple Life' has been one of the most difficult goals I have encountered.

Vignettes from the Hundred-Acre Wood

10 August 2008

Hummingbirds came to their feeders as soon as I filled them, mmm, sugar water. Simple syrup.

As simple as today and almost as sweet.

One hovers now sipping sarsparilla so daintily slurping with such slender straw. They are not afraid. I like that. A choice of 3 feeders, they come to the feeder only 5 feet away from me. I admire them from my office window. The screen is distracting. Worth its weight in mosquito protection though.

A hummingbird appears to me the microcosm of a miracle. I am grateful for this honor to observe; grateful for an abundance of blessings indeed. Except sometimes...some days...

August on the Gulf Coast!

Refreshing cool-downs in the kiddy pool work fine in the hot early August mornings,
but now
it is time for the civilized to get out of the
high noon heat, if possible. Whether that includes me, I am out of here (the A/C is OFF in my office!).
