Atop My Hill 9/13/2018 8:24:54 AM
Fall 3 years ago ended my teaching career and slowed me down a bit, again able to do much as I did in past, including sit and write for longer periods Rose of Sharon are ablaze with color now. Hummingbirds are abundant, in spite of 3 years neglect pruning, weeding and the like all our rain has really brought blossoms everywhere.
At last a small victory; no sugar water, ant enticing, wasp sipping feeders. There is natural nectar available, and the humming birds are everywhere.
Pollen gatherers, not many honey bees, sorry to say, but lots of bumbly type ones are covered with pollen. Some sound like overladed jets as they wobble past with their huge loads.
Night visitors to front porch include a nice diversity of felines, a stray pup or two, various birds who nibble bits of dog kibble and even a hungry raccoon or raccoon family of mom and kids.
Despite the heavy grass, weeds I loathe, broken branches and the like all is well atop my hill and is well on its way to getting back to normal!
