Finally Pictures of a Hummingbird

My Hummingbird Story
By Mary J Williams ©

I’ve waited from spring
And into the summer
I wanted a picture of
A small little hummer!

Today I was out
Spraying water around
Pulling squash bugs off pumpkins
And throwing them to the ground

Right in front of me
A humming bird flew
I actually had my camera
Hopefully a picture or two

On the dianthus
Bright red is the color
Darting from one
And then to another

I clicked away
Hoping for a good one
He flew away
I thought I was done

I watched where he flew
The crepe myrtle was there
He landed in the branches
I was so happy, I swear!

She moved just a bit
Just as I started to focus her in
I snapped a picture
And then did so again

I think I got her
She looked so cute
Pretty sure it’s a female
You might dispute

I am just happy
I was out there right then
And grabbed a few pictures
My face is all grins!                                                                            9-12-2023

Where Does The Time Go

Time Flies By Mary J Williams (c) I was looking forward to planting Around the first of May Putting in the flowers Now, it's an August day Where on earth did the time go It seems like it just flew by It passed by so fast I feel like I could cry I like the warmer weather I can always cool off inside This old body doesn't move so good And that I can't abide I want to garden And pull out the weeds If I do all that Then I don't do other deeds I noticed my dog, Lacy Is slowing down too Sleeps most of the day no playing does she do I was out there today Pulling up some weeds Using a sprinkler up in front Water is what those plants need Still getting tomatoes The one plant is the best Early Girl is the name Better Boy's are the rest The time is going to fast Pretty soon freezing temps begin Then I will have to stay inside It will be "I can't wait 'til Spring starts again"                               ...

The Flying Squirrel By Mary J Williams © Standing at the sink Doing the dishes Looked outside Squirrel cleaning up dishes Grape jelly I put out For the orioles They haven’t been here But the squirrel sure knows I went out the door Yelled at him to leave This isn’t the first time I am really peeved That squirrel faded left Then he faded right Next thing I knew He had taken flight Off the banister deck To the ground below Watching him fly How far did he go? One day I’ll get the tape out And try to measure it This is not the first time I doubt he will quit It’s not really flying But a very long jump I am utterly amazed He lands without a thump   5-1-2024

Been Awhile since I Wrote

It’s Been Awhile By Mary J Williams © No poems lately What can I say Not even a story Has come your way It’s that time of year Gardening takes up time Plus, there are good movies I watch on Prime I have had critters galore I put out oranges and jelly For the Orioles that stop by Squirrels ate it all filling up their bellies Put safflower seed out too Squirrels aren’t supposed to like it Guess they didn’t read that info As they ate it all, not just a little bit Moles were tunneling everywhere Cicadas were making their noise Chipmunks running all over And Deer eating my rose Made a new spot In the front yard, you see So, I could plant daylilies For everyone and me I even have crocheted Baby blankets given away I love doing that I don’t make them pay I have cooked different things To try and tempt Jim However, he doesn’t eat it Sometimes no pleasing him My flowers are looking great Have pollinators about Butterflies and bees I’m doing good, I have no doubt       6-...
