OK, maybe not hyper, but there was definitely a lot of activity around the ol' homestead yesterday.
What started out to be a rainy day in the early morning hours...
turned into a lovely afternoon.
I filled both hummingbird feeders with fresh sugar water that morning after the rain had stopped. Which, by the way, we had four lovely days in a row of rain. My flower and veggie gardens are so happy!
This particular feeder is the one I can see out my office window. I also have a couple of chairs maybe about four feet from this feeder. I can sit in the chair and it doesn't bother the hummers one bit that I'm so close.
These were all taken while I was sitting in the chair by the feeder.
I also gave the squirrels some food in their feeder.
Only one squirrel is allowed on the feeder at one time. I don't know who came up with that rule but they all stick by it. That is, until somebody decides that the one on the feeder has been there long enough! As they're chasing each other, another squirrel jumps onto the feeder and takes over. It's quite entertaining to watch.

I also added bird seed to the bird feeders.
I sat in the chair on the patio for maybe thirty minutes and was able to capture all this activity. It was wonderful!
There's still a lot of activity today but it is extremely windy and cool outside. I'm opting to stay on the front porch!
Till next time,
