We had a rough start to the week and I had a feeling it was going to be a tough week. Mid-week things were back to normal again until Friday, after my zumba class, I asked my friend Simona to come over to see the hummingbird babies. When she peered into the nest, she said they weren't moving and something seemed wrong. I told Simona to blow on the them because that usually gets their attention, but that didn't work either. For some reason, the mother never came back to feed them, so the poor babies starved to death.
The girls were more curious than sad when I broke the news to them when I picked them up after school. We held a little service for the birds and buried them under the tree where they were born. Though they didn't get to live long, we were blessed to have gotten to witness the short life they did have.
Now just an empty nest
