Hummingbirds On Hibiscus make me happy

In the early morning, in August, you can find me on the back porch drinking my coffee and enjoying the hummingbirds feasting on the Rose of Sharon. It is quite a show.

Hummingbirds remind me of two of my favorites. My maternal grandfather, Oliver Edes, who showed me my first hummingbird, feeding on the Hollyhocks in his Plymouth garden, when I was small. As well as My Aunt Nan, who had the first hummingbird feeder I had ever seen, hanging from a crab apple tree in her ‘Sconset yard. We would sit just outside her kitchen door, binoculars in hand, to watch them. Simple Joys.
