Life remains busy and sometimes bumpy but when I saw today’s #SoCS prompt from Linda Hill I knew I had to post. My life, like most people, has had its dark days. But I have been blessed with many, many happy moments and happy places.
Since there isn’t space or time here to show them all to you, I will hit a few and share my most recent happy place.
Most people who have visited any of my blogs will know how much I love winged things, especially hummingbirds. The hubs even calls me hummingbird sometimes because I like to stay busy. 😂
In our recent happy place here in Panama, I have feeders for my little friends, along with flowering plants. A few weeks back I had a little guy take over the terrace and its supply of nectar, running off any other hummers who dared take a drink. His only rivals were the tiny bees so he let them have their way. I named him Napoleon. Sadly, birds sometimes fly into our big picture window, injuring themselves. Most get up after a few minutes to fly away but recently a lovely blue tanager died. Then my little buddy mistook the afternoon reflection for a runway and hit the window hard. I went out and spent time with him, gave him some sugar water and he tried to hang on. When I saw he was failing I picked him up and held him as he took his last sweet breaths. 🥺😞
