  1. The softness of that nest fascinates me. Birds are so smart!

    Good luck with the new idea too girl. I have a few of my own I’m working on right now and it’s such an exciting scary place to be, you know?

    Nice to not be there alone:-)

    • Birds are very smart. But they don’t know how to come in out of the rain. 🙂

      It’s a very scary, but very exciting place to be! I don’t know how I’d manage without my family and friends — especially my Ideal Readers.

  2. So nice to hear the mama and babies are still doing well. I like your comparison between mama in the nest and writers’ butts in chair. 🙂

    I’m FINALLY feeling better so am available to talk or critique as you need.

    • My mind is so metaphor-driven. I can’t help myself. Hmmm, wonder how THAT happened?! 🙂

      I am so, so glad you’re feeling better!

      I’ll definitely be in contact. Look again at that last paragraph. xo

  3. Mama Bird was wise to build her nest under the umbrella leaf.
    I know intellectually this nest is the size of a walnut, but in the pictures it looks like a normal size nest. I can’t even fathom how small it must be!

    • She knows what she’s doing.

      You’re right: The pictures don’t show how tiny the nest really is. I wish I could hold a ruler next to it, but I don’t want to fluster Mama Hummingbird.

      • Your instincts are right – she has a big job to do, and pointy objects will definitely scare her 🙂

        Maybe after the nest is empty you can put s’thing next to it so we can see.

        Thanks for the updates on her.
        I love them.

  4. Awwwwwwwwwww… your hatchlings are cute!

    And yes, trust your intuition… you are a very wise woman, Melodye. Your intuition won’t lead you astray.

  5. Thanks for keeping us updated on the hatchlings and Mama Hummingbird!

    Trust your intuition, Melodye, and ship your inner critic off to vacation in Cancun…on a one way ticket!
