Hummingbird Heaven
Our home is surrounded with Rose gardens along with various other flowering plants, shrubs and trees which make it a favorite home for our annually migrating Hummingbirds. In addition to that, my wife has installed 12 Hummingbird feeders and keeps them filled with the birds' favorite nectar.
The other day our next door neighbor told my wife that one of "my wife's" Hummingbirds had become trapped in her garage and had starved to death. My wife went over to check it out and found a Hummingbird lying on the garage floor, covered in spider webs, and apparently lifeless, so she took it home and began to remove the spider webs from it when she detected a small spark of life within "her" Hummingbird. It took my wife most of the day to nurse that Hummingbird back to good enough health to fly away and join the others. They sat there together for hours chatting with each other between feedings, and I'm sure that little guy thought he had died and gone to Hummingbird Heaven.
Every Fall, when the cold weather forces them to return to Mexico, I'll bet my wife's Hummingbirds set there on a cactus counting the days until Spring when they can return to my wife's garden.
