“Phoebe’s hatchling flew the coop yesterday. Or maybe he was raptured. :-)”
If so, it would appear he was the ONLY one.
Sigh.
I guess it is too much to hope that — after centuries of slight variations on the same story (“Oh yes! The world is going to end on June 1, 1723!” (World doesn’t end.) “Um… no, I made a mistake in my math — it’s REALLY going to end on May 5, 1724!” (World doesn’t end… and so on, and so on…) people would recognize the scam. Oh well. — PL

This willingness to suspend disbelief, to believe in something greater than ourselves, and to work toward a better tomorrow…it’s all good. But to cling to someone who proclaims himself an End Times prophet–haven’t we learned the lessons of history yet?
LOL — oh, this rapture business…
Ha–I know, right?
Scout did a lot of flappping there before takeoff! It’s hard to leave the security of the nest.
I should check on the Molly barn own webcam…
Great observation, Barb. I think that’s true for (almost) all of us.
I’d love to watch some of your favorite MollyCam videos, if you’re willing to post them…

Watch it at night. They’re nocturnal.
Oh my gosh, Melodye, that brought tears to my eyes. So sweet! Thanks for sharing.
I tear up every time, Lorraine. Every time! Those hummers have me wrapped around their…uh, wings?

Yay! Go, little one!
I wish for Scout a lifetime of smooth take-offs and landings. Oh, and tasty nectar. 🙂
They are so brave, and so very beautiful….one of God’s most amazing creatures, I think.
It’s a mixed blessing, that thorny rose bush. It probably deters some predators, but ouch, those thorns are almost the size of hummers!
Re: First flight
I’m glad you enjoyed it. For me, it’s a happy respite from the evening news. 🙂
