Have you ever had a weekend that was over as soon as it began?
Oh....this weekend was crazy busy...
it's Monday already and when I awoke this morning I could have easily believed that it
was still Saturday!
Saturday was filled with a Tyler soccer game...
always fun!
And then Hubbs and I got dressed up and attended a wedding.
Before we knew it, it was Sunday.
Sunday brought farm chores, egg packaging and then a wonderfully fun session
of taking engagement photos for Amanda and her fiancé Tim.
I used a few of the best photos and designed a "Save The Date" card for them...
which I will show when she sends them out.
Our afternoon was filled with a "tasting" by the caterer that we are using for our
June farm wedding.
Yummy, yummy bites of food...again, I will share with you at a later date.
Let's just say we were all very satisfied with the food that was offered.
Saturday evening, a friend stopped by to show us this incredible nest that he had found.
It is a hummingbird nest...
something seldom seen.
The craftsmanship of this tiny nest is like no other.
It's center is filled with the softest downy, almost spongy, layer.
The size of a walnut half, it is woven together with spider webs...
allowing for expansion and contraction when babies are inside.
The spiderwebs are also used to attach the nest to a tree branch.
And then, to camouflage the nest, the hummingbird covers it in green lichens...
making it blend into its surroundings.
Isn't nature amazing?
If that little engineering design is not miraculous, I don't know what is!

Your article is very helpful thank you very much for sharing .
Truly . . .
Now I know exactly what to look for too. Our Hummers must be besting in our Red Twig Dogwood!
As soon as the leaves fall, I am scoping it out . . .
I look forward to seeing the Save A Date card . . .
