Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. Magic is in the air this morning. It’s July, and yet, the bright and breezy weather in central North Carolina suggests spring. The birds are warbling in the silver maple. Hummingbirds—iridescent fairy-like creatures—shimmer in the sunlight, helicopter to our backyard feeders. One bobs in the air above me and must believe I’m a huge flower since I’m dressed in salmon pink!
Di, I hope that your summer is going well. I am sorry that I missed last week, because, as you said, I was "weighed down" with responsibilities, most of which I enjoyed, however. I really like this post. Hummingbirds are amazing. Beginning in the late summer, most of them make the 500-mile flight to Mexico for the winter, which they typically accomplish in about a day. Your poem "Make a Wish" for Claire was excellent, as you lyrically described one of her enchanted moments. Your poetry is a gift.
