and so am I. These precious little hummingbirds hatched 2 weeks ago while I was in Italy. Each day I watched them "get a little taller" in their nest until I could see that they were no longer able to fit. Monday evening my neighborhood children and I were watching them when one of them was brave enough to try his first flight right in front of our eyes. We were all so thrilled with gave him a round of applause and a gallery of cheers. He looked like a child taking first steps and not sure of which way he was headed. He left his sibling alone in the nest at night. Tuesday morning I left for my walk at 6:45 and when I returned at 7:30 the other hummer was gone although I could hear the young family in the nearby bushes which was the destination the night before.
So these little guys were ready to take flight and leave their little nest and so am I. Ryan arrived today and we are ready to pack the truck tomorrow. Saturday morning we are headed to Colorado, my new home. I feel like the little fledglings from my garden but trust that I will land in a safe and happy place.
I'll check in on the other side.
