Hummingbirds and a Dahlia Update.

While I was in Austin, Sidney discovered a hummingbird nest in our patio string lines.  They love this patio cover for a nesting spot, as we had a nest several years ago not too far from this one.  The nest is right outside of our living room window, which makes it convenient for observing.  the momma hummingbird has been spending a lot of time keeping the eggs warm and protecting the nest.

A quick dahlia update.  I have been cutting numerous bouquets from these plants.  It has been such an unexpected treat this year.
