Hummingbird Contentment

The nicest thing happened to me yesterday! A fellow Blogger, nature and wildlife photographer extraordinaire, did a blog post that brought a little tear to my eyes....Okay, a lot of tears to my eyes! ;'_';
It was Mariann Rea of the Nature and Wildlife Photography Blog. Wait until you see! Then you'll know why I was teary...and you'll be reaffirmed also, in the knowledge that a good deed doesn't go unnoticed! :-)
Okay, 2 things this morning. One, no more hummingbirds showed up at my feeder yesterday. But I know why too! There was just too much activity in my backyard!...The lawn had to be cut....Rrrrrrrrrrr!...and the edges had to be trimmed.......Rrrrrrrrr rrrrrr rrrrrrrr!...People were riding bikes past the woods. Robins were chasing other birds all over the place. A big bluebird came and flitted around the tree where the feeder was. He wasn't a 'Bluebird of Happiness' for my hummingbird sighting! LOL
So, I guess the little hummingbirds thought that maybe this place is too nerve-racking on a little fella! ^_^ Maybe tomorrow!!...But just so you will get to see a hummingbird today, I found a video on Youtube, a promotional video I think, for the Saltery Lodge in Alaska. The story about what happened when they were filming a little hummingbird is extraordinary!!! I loved it! I hope you do too! :-)

Please let me know what you think of it!!
Lastly, more Yoyos!!...I finished the ones with the red in the center, then brown, then green...
Then I worked on some more!!!...These had green in the middle, then red, then purple...
And then...PHEW!...I started some more! These had red in the center, then purple, then white!
I've only done about three of these so far, so guess what I'm going to be doing later today?!! ^_^ I'm gonna be Yoyo-ed OUT by nightfall!!! LOL
Okay, I hope you all have a good weekend! If the sun shines, take advantage of it! Tomorrow is not promised to you...remember! And if it rains, dance in it!! :-)

Merrily Content

I've got lots to do today.
I hope the sun shines down on me.
But if, instead, the rain comes down,
I'll still be singing merrily.

Whatever happens I'm content.
I know how worse my life could be,
than watching hummingbirds and robins
flit around my backyard tree.

The news of shootings and disasters,
on my mind can't make a dent;
Because I'll focus on my backyard,
and I'll be smiling and content.
