April Flowers and Tiny Wings of Hope

 We have rain this morning!!  So needed!!

I woke up this morning to the soft, steady rhythm of an April shower tapping against the window. I am so loving this gentle blessing falling from the sky.  

I lingered in bed a while longer, listening to the raindrops hitting the roof, the window, and all of the soft places in between.  This is exactly what we have been needing. Woo Hoo!!

Y'all....we had our very first hummingbird on Tuesday!!  I was able to snap a picture from my phone, but it is not real clear.  I find it amazing how these tiny birds find the feeders so quickly.  Every year, like clockwork, they show up, and this is something that never gets old. I Love seeing their little wings as they flap in speed of 50 to 80 times per second.  (I had to look this info up)

I've not been able to find the "Esperanza" plant that the hummingbirds love...Still a little early for the nurseries to have them out.  

And our "Turks Caps" are just now leafing out!  I think it might be another month before the hummers can feed on the red and yellow eye catching blooms of these popular plants. 

We usually have both of these beautiful plants planted all around the pool...Adds a lot of color to the back yard and they really attract the butterflies as well as the hummers.  

Hope you all get rain (if you need it) and maybe even a hummingbird or two or three or four, stopping by your place.

Sam and I both agreed this morning that we feel "FREE" today!  No appointments of any kind today!!

See Y'all tomorrow!!
