Truly An Unusual Sight

Holding On

Worrying about the fact that my Fushia flowers were just about gone due to the changing seasons.. I hurried out and bought a hummingbird feeder, so my little visitors would not be without.
Since the feeders weren't in season.. I was worried that I might not find one, as fast as I needed one. but there in the back corner of the store, were only three left.
These precious little beauties were staying much longer than one would have expected, due to our "Cold" weather. I worried so much about them when we had an unexpected snow storm.
I can't help but to think, that having this little bit of energy.. would assist them in making it to warmer places.
The snow stayed for a good week.. and then was over. The pair of Hummingbirds that had stayed with us for a few months in the fall, had held out just a bit longer. After the snow had gone, drinking all they could get.. they were on their way.
It makes one feel so good to know, that just a little effort, helped sustain these little ones through their hardships.
I'm hoping I will see them again one day soon.
