Cherish what you have today, it may not be here tomorrow. Before I decided to start a blog, I was introduced to the world of blogs by first one mom, and then another, who were dealing with a child (sometimes children) with critical illnesses.

As is often the case, the illness was a complete surprise to the family, and so many of the posts had to do with taking time each day to celebrate what you have, because it may be gone in an instant.

So on to this post.......this has been my best summer for Hummingbirds ever.....they came earlier, and in better numbers and were in a location where I could watch them for hours. Once I got my camera, I kept thinking, "oh I need to get pictures of them".

Several of them would hover, staring into the living room through the sliding glass door.....and I kept thinking, "I have plenty of time, I'll do it later".......(yes, I do channel Scarlet O'Hara).....

One Monday a couple of weeks ago, there were hummers in great numbers at the feeder....then by the next day they were gone. So the above is the only picture of my summer humming visitors. Yet another lesson on cherishing things now.
