Ok, I bought more parsley and as I was unloading the car two hummingbirds went racing around the porterweed and then over the house. I don't know if they were flirting or fighting but they were making a lot of "tweet" noises. I couldn't believe they were that close to me. I was starting to think they had left since I hadn't seen one in about two weeks, but then the other day going to work I saw one as he left the porterweed to go perch in the oak tree. That's where he waits until I get in the car and he feels it's safe to come back. So you can see why I was surprised to be standing next to the car and have two come flying out at me.

In other excitement, here's a picture of my Red-Spotted Purple cat! He had really silked himself up - even had his antlers silked together, LOL! I wasn't sure if I should try to help so I left him alone and he seems to have worked it out. Still haven't found any more on my cherry tree, but I'll keep looking.
