Grateful
Our little Hummingbird fried is enjoying our company the last few days. We live in Salem, Oregon. The last few days have been extremely smoky, and lots of ash falling all over the city. We washed his favorite perching tree, and are keeping a clean feeder. It is charming to hear it chatter with us, and actually flies close to us when we are out in the patio area. Our prayers are continually in our hearts for the people that had tremendous losses all around us by the ravaging Wildfires.
