Hope you are feeling better.<br /><br />Herd - You are so correct. I always dread when the Kudzu dries up and the idiots burn brush fires next to a stand of it.<br /><br />Leedra - It's always a big argument around here as to whether or not the rain helps or hinders the color. We'll just have to see.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-55573564685221923452009-09-30T08:22:27.673-04:002009-09-30T08:22:27.673-04:00Carolyn, those are awesome shots of the Hummer!! :...Carolyn, those are awesome shots of the Hummer!! :)Carol Murdockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749285023748227382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-34861130715722468392009-09-30T08:18:55.028-04:002009-09-30T08:18:55.028-04:00Wonderful shots of the hummingbird!

Everything needs a good drenching once in a while, getting soaked down to the deepest roots. It's great to know you've had this, and now are on the other side into the sunshine of fall.<br /><br />When we lived on the Olympic Peninsula, the hummers left in late August. Nice to see you still have them there.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390482190562312928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-1270294025721109722009-09-28T11:11:07.351-04:002009-09-28T11:11:07.351-04:00Great shots of the hummer!
