miscellaneous

there are still four ducklings.  now that four have made it this far, i find myself anxiously searching for them each morning and am relieved to find all still present and accounted for.

there were four hummingbirds at the feeder at the same time yesterday.  perhaps what i thought was two has actually been four.  the hummers aren't particularly distinctive from one another.  for some reason it's thrilling to have four hummingbirds visit instead of just two.

it's almost time for the grandchildren to visit!
