I've been on Excel

They used to be common especially in farming communities but now adays I ain't so sure. Hummers love em.

So that's where they all went. I used to get a lot of them but both hummers and bees have mostly disappeared

@rebelann We have a lot of hummingbirds here.

Thanks, glad you like them.

Thanks. It was time consuming but I managed to get a round cutout of my holly blooms.

@rebelann They are just gorgeous.

@rebelann Really? I thought they'd last a long time because of their size! Interesting! I used to have a baby crow - when I was a kid. My dad built a big thing in the backyard for him . . . but one day he swallowed a twig - it was too late by the time we noticed . We had a ton of crows a few months back - I don't know what happened to them. Maybe it's gotten too hot for them .

Yeah, the heat makes birds seem to disappear but around here I've noticed they're active in the mornings before I get up and as it heats up they go hide in shade somewhere ... well, that's what I think at least.

I've tried to do that over the years but they never last very long so I stopped trying. I just love those kinds of videos. I wish we had crows around here.

I have not had any yellow ones yet but I used to have deep red ones.

Yes they are but I have not had any reds in a few years now. I think I need to purchase some more seeds

@rebelann Deep red ones are also beautiful.

Thank you, I'm praying there are still hummers around here but so far I've only seen one teeny bee

Thanks, I hope so too.

@rebelann Hopefully you’ll see more.

You should talk to them, I hear they will mimic people kinda like parrots do.

Thank you. I love those kinds of birds but I have never seen them near my home

@rebelann They have become frequent visitors to my backyard. Just hanging out and occasionally lands on my deck to watch me at the kitchen table. Kind of creepy

Thank you.

@rebelann You are right !

Yes I believe it is a Hollyhock or Mallow

It's what I have a lot of these days so I get to play on excel. I also keep my budget on it.

I hope they'll all bloom really soon.

@rebelann I am sure they will they are starting to come up.

Thank you.

Thank you

Thank you. Yep, all living things have personalities .... hmmm, not sure about trees and flowers though

They must be related to mine

@rebelann

Thank you. I love these kinds of videos, they're always heartwarming

I only get the hollyhocks and a few wild desert blooms but those are very tiny, smaller than an M&M. Yes, I agree, life is good.
