Front Porch moment

Today's lesson on yard work is small. Pull weeds while it is sprinkling! You can't tell if it is sweat or rain running down your forehead, cleavage and back. However, I do have a question. At the time of the flood, why did the Lord leave us mosquitoes and grassburrs. He could have done away with both, and I would have been okay with that! One would think childbirth, passing kidney and gall stones, and dealing with Social Security is punishment enough.
On a better note!
We are a "Front Porch" family lately. Twice today, my children and I sat on the porch to watch our newest friends........ Tiny, Flower, Mumble, and Spot (the hummingbird clan). Our front porch has also grown to include two baby birds who rest there at night. However, our front porch included some other important friends through out the day who were as mesmerized by our little birds, as we were. Grandad came for a spell; Tony came for supper and sat out to watch, then Ashley and Jordan came calling. Tony just couldn't believe how relaxing and cool these guys are. We visited and watched the birds.
After two days of enjoying these hummingbirds, we decided to check out where they nest and sleep at night. We found a great site to read and enjoyed several videos. We were watching the amazing video where the mother was feeding her two babies. After about day 28 the babies are fairly grown, and the mom is still feeding them a mixture of insects (spiders) and nectar. She does this by sticking her long slender beak down into the mouths of the babies. My daughter without missing a beat said: "That's gotta hurt! That gives a whole new meaning to a nosey mom!" Enough said!
Loving our front porch times!
