I am definitely a country girl that loves to garden, quilt, preserve, hunt, and read. I love my family more than anything in the world. I live with my husband of fifty years. We have a son, daughter, granddaughter and grandson. We live on a 500+ acre farm in Virginia with about 75 cows & bulls, thirty chickens, and three dogs.
They’re Back . . .
He showed up on the fifteenth like clockworks. He’s sitting on a maple tree limb beside the front porch.
April 15th and our first hummer of the year has arrived. He found the feeder that I put out on the first and the next day another one showed up. We now have a male and female. I put the feeder out on the first because last year they showed up early and I wasn’t prepared. I checked their syrup yesterday afternoon to make sure it was still good, and I didn’t have to make another batch.
They’re always a bit flighty when they first show up and it was hard to get a good photo.
I'm just a country girl living life my way on a farm with my husband and our critters. We've been married fifty years and been farming all of that time. We've moved from one family farm to one of our own and then to another family farm that has been in the family through at least six generations. In this day and age we could not have picked a better life!

I’m still waiting on mine. I love to watch the hummingbirds.

Hurray. We have another month to wait for them to get this far but, again, it’s worth the wait. It really is amazing how they show up like clockwork.
