Hummer

The Hummer was busy sipping from the bountiful Hosta blooms the last month.  I didn't fill its feeder due to the suffocating humidity and horrid high temperatures.

This week the air has cleared and coolness has wrapped us in its arms.  This day I was reminded by Hummer, not once but twice that it was thirsty.  The nectar was created and feeder filled and hung.

Two hours later as I sat and scribbled its familiar thrrummm sounded.  It found the feeder and quenched its thirst. It returned three times this eve fortifying itself before the long journey south.  

My heart grew light and my smile grew bright as I watched Hummer in the waning light.
