I've been away from my painting for a while. I got up early. Did all my house cleaning stayed in my pajamas all day and decided I couldn't wait to finish everything I needed to do so I could just sit and paint I needed to paint day so bad Scarlett enjoyed it too!

Most of them are little teeny things. Mine hangs over my garden and I have a big window in my bathroom so when I'm getting dressed, I see them. They're all very young just wee little ones. They sure are enjoying the sugar water. I made them.

We have Ruby-throated hummers at our feeders. They are ramping up their numbers as they begin gear up to migrate. Thank you!
