Only under the bird feeders are they slow...they are not afraid of the birds and squirrels, just humans! Of course they ate on the brick wall (when no one was around).

You know - I learn something new every day..........thanks to my buddies here!

Now, if someone can show me a clip of a hummingbird walking...........I will write a poem - just for them! (or, send them $1,000.00. My choice.)

(Because I have read many times, that hummingbirds cannot walk - just as I have read that chipmunks cannot walk - they run everywhere they have to go.)

So...........com’mon - help me learn something ELSE new, today! LOL!

I do not believe any of us will ever see a hummingbird walk! We do know they landed a woman’s arm and hand though, don’t we? I didn’t think that could happen because they are scared of noises and quick movements.

Feeling a bit curmudgeonly today!

We Need An Unemployed Wannabe King

He ain’t a King though he thinks so
nor a leader as the evidence shows
Just an activist with hate on his mind
and he’s willing to rule you in kind

Partnered with those who seek power
there in their leftist red tinted tower
Rights are yours but watch for the left
tax you into poverty and steal the rest

Taxation without representation again
a hard hearted King judging your sin
But don’t you say a thing about his
he’ll unleash the unions to levy the biz

Make November their last black day
time for them to get their separation pay
Take back our land and home of the free
and make it shine as bright as it can be

Turn from the left and seek what’s right
stand against them and make it a fight
The flag waves proud, the cross stand firm
it’s time to make the progressives squirm

TEA party patriots at their Concord bridge
standing firm before the bite of leftist midges
There’s no room for leftie hate and smears
time to show them that its time they fear

Stop To Help
June 11, 2010

Dr. Scott Kurtzman, chief of surgery at Waterbury Hospital in Connecticut, was on his way to deliver a lecture when he witnessed a horrible crash involving 20 vehicles. The doctor shifted into trauma mode, worked his way through the mess of metal, and called out, “Who needs help?” After 90 minutes of assisting, and the victims were taken to area hospitals, Dr. Kurtzman commented, “A person with my skills simply can’t drive by someone who is injured. I refuse to live my life that way.”

Jesus told a parable about a man who stopped to help another (Luke 10:30-37). A Jewish man had been ambushed, stripped, robbed, and left for dead. A Jewish priest and a temple assistant passed by, saw the man, and crossed over to the other side. Then a despised Samaritan came by, saw the man, and was filled with compassion. His compassion was translated into action: He soothed and bandaged the man’s wounds, took him to an inn, cared for him while he could, paid for all his medical expenses, and then promised the innkeeper he would return to pay any additional expenses.

There are people around us who are suffering. Moved with compassion for their pain, let’s be those who stop to help.

Reach out in Jesus’ name
With hands of love and care
To those who are in need
And caught in life’s despair. —Sper
Compassion is always active.

Read: Luke 10:30-37

You shall love . . . your neighbor as yourself. —Luke 10:27
Bible in a year:
Ezra 1-2; John 19:23-42

Good Morning Jaycee!

Oh I adore chipmunks! We have lots of squirrels that my husband feeds, but don’t have chipmunks right here in our neighborhood. Lots in our local mountains though.

Sending love your way...
Polly
