Baby It's Cold Outside



My view from my window this morning at breakfast.
The hummingbird watching and wanting breakfast too.
As you can see it is frozen.


We had two little birds looking for food.

So we took the feeder and sat it on Christmas lights to thaw.
One happy little bird found it and drank with delight.
The other one has yet to find it though he is fluttering about.

Hummingbird no food
Oh so very cold outside
Come, warm by the lights.

My haiku for this mornings adventure.

Happy weekend, dear friends.
May you take time to notice what you notice.

    the hummingbirds have been long gone here, I love seeing their return every spring. Did you post a photo? It didn't come through!

    I hope the hummingbirds find your feeder. What a great way to warm it up. It's certainly cold out there!

    It's cold in Michigan too - 26 degrees, but there's no Hummingbirds here. You captured a great photo.

    I love that you are kind to the hummingbirds ... and what a brilliant solution to their problem!

    It's so cold! I'm surprised that the hummingbirds stick around during the winter!

    Sweet little winter birds may they all be full of food and shelter and warmth. I love hummingbirds and all of nature.

    Blessings

    So do hummers over-winter there? I've never seen one around here in the cold weather, especially in snow or ice.
    Our birds are fine right now - even have bluebirds still coming to the feeder. Have my now dead Boston ferns still dangling from the porch - look really pathetic, but the pair of Carolina wrens sleep in them every night and I just haven't the heart to take them down and trash them and leave the birds to find other bedrooms!

    Bundle up and stay warm dear friends.

    Love, Mary

    You're darned right about the cold. We thought it might be a little warmer in the South. It was for a day. Now just frigid!

    All our hummingbirds left in August. They got the heck out of Dodge here!
    I hope he's ok!

    Such sweet little hummers! Great idea to use the Christmas lights to thaw out their food! I've been feeding the birds too, but no hummers here.

    Your lovely haiku is so perfect for now, Marilyn... And a little light can warm a lot! :o) We had a lot of snow during the weekend, so it's a winter wonderland here too. Lots of tea at the ready... ;o) Happy Days, my friend ((HUGS))

    So clever, Marilyn. It warmed my heart for the little birdies.

    So sweet. We don't have hummingbirds in Europe, but my parents in the South have hummingbirds visiting all the time.
