Dance of the Hummingbirds

Hummingbirds are such funny creatures. They are so full of energy, they appear to be such happy creatures. Perhaps that is why you find so many hummingbird feeders around. People just seem happier when they can sit and watch the action of these little speedy birds.

Now these folks aren't quite so speedy, but they certainly are funny, full of energy, and seem to be happy creatures most of the time, especially when they are savoring a fine bottle of wine, or maybe a robust beer on a hot summer day. 

And man, haven't we had a hot summer. Not that I am complaining... not at all! My garden is actually growing. I even have some tomatoes (still green, but there is time). 

And last night, because of the hot, sultry day, we were able to witness a spectacular light show in the sky as we sat on a patio in Rathdrum and watched a thunderstorm roll across the prairie. What a great thing to share with good friends.
