Well if that don't beat all, sitting outside I heard a funny buzzing sound and a squeak sounded like a hummingbird but not quite. Finally went to check and found a little female hummingbird trapped between the wagon wheel and the deck in some long wet grass. Very carefully got her extracted and she chirped at me, pooped in my hand , and nearly took my eye out leaving! I am sure that's just how they say thank you right???
Do have to say,it felt odd holding that fragile creature! I could see her but she felt like nothing but air! Think she is fine, hope so.
This incident, and this spring, moms illness, our critters calving, and foaling remind how fragile yet tough God's creatures can be.
Tiny calves born in cold temps,bounce right up and start to nurse, just hit the ground growing! Unless they don't,then it can and does end badly some times.
The foals ,the same up on those wobbly pins so quickly after they are born drinking and running before we know it . Even Little Peanut (Oakley's Arctic Heather ) or Sprite (as I suggested today) with her rough star and is doing fine!

A good reminder - those miracles are all around us, just waiting for us to notice.
Oh your Mom looks so good. Yes there are indeed miracles every where we turn.
Nothing say Thank you like poop in the hand:) Take care my friend. HUGS B
Nice to know your mom is out enjoying time with you.
Those fillys are doing a pretty good job of setting boundaries for the colts!
I had no idea hummingbirds chirped! Glad to see your mom was able to come for a visit. And the girls giving the boys what-for - too cute!
It's a good thing you were in the right place at the right time to hear that tiny chirp. Last week I saved a sparrow from certain death after it got caught in a mouse trap. Those darn things like peanut butter too. I don't know how long he'd been there and I know they're just sparrows, but I couldn't let him die like that. He quickly flew away after being released :-)
Yes lifes little miracles are there. We just have to "look" at life and "Listen" and we will find them. Your Mom is a tough lady and she inspires me. Nothing but nothing is going to stop her unless she says so. Great on your Dad to be there with her thru it all. He is a "tough" guy. LOL the old softie.
Awww, and now you know what hummer poop looks like!
Beautiful babies, and a wonderful family. Take care of yourself too while you're at it, haha!
