I love early mornings in the gardens!

I get up early. By choice usually. I like to take my coffee outside and watch the dark sky give way to morning. The first birds I usually see are the cardinals - always a male and female together. Then the blue jays and morning doves come and get their treats. There is a pair of red bellied woodpeckers that live in a hole in a dead pine tree. They take turns going in and out of the hole. I'm hoping they are raising a family in there. Saturday a brown thrasher showed up to scratch around. Haven't seen them for a while so that was a nice surprise. But what never fails to thrill me are the hummingbirds. They always go first to the yellow shrimp plants. They visit every bloom! Then it's off to the purple porterweed, red cannas and coral honeysuckle. I love that it's so quiet at that time of the morning that I can hear the hummer arrving! I wish tomorrow was Saturday. LOL!!!
