Hummingbird??! You might ask if this is just too late for hummingbirds. And you would be right. I was truly surprised because they have all usually migrated to Mexico by the beginning of October. I had read that you can see a straggler or 2 come passing by in the middle of October, but this guy is truly late! But I was delighted because when I went outside he was sitting in my Mountain Sage slurping up all the nectar that this beautiful bush puts out in fall. So there is my blessing. Yesterday I was all sad that there were no more hummingbirds to take advantage of all the beautiful flowers blooming right now, and today, here comes a hummingbird. Now if that is not a gift, I don\u2019t know what is!<\/p>\n
