Late this afternoon we were sitting on the porch talking about how the day had gone. My husband noticed a hummingbird behaving in a peculiar way we had not seen before. She was hovering near the lower panes of the window, down where there were no flowers to be had at this time of year from the bushes.
He said, "She's looking at your dress." I was wearing a red dress with blue hibiscus flowers printed on it. Hanging on the curtain rod behind us were several shirts that had red floral patterns in them. The hummingbird was looking at us to see if there was some nectar to be had from us inside the glass confines of the porch. Smart bird. But we were nectarless.
