Bobby and I went to IHOP for dinner last night (yum!). He was working 4-12, so I picked him up and drove to IHOP.
Anyway, as I was leaving the house, I saw what looked like a dead baby bird in the birdbath. I went over to make sure of what it was (seed propellers from the Japanese maple, thank God) when suddenly something went whizzing past my head. I heard a lot of high-pitched, rapid twittering (very much like a bat) and a loud buzzing (like a cicada); so I stopped to look around ... and realized I was being buzzed by two (or maybe three) hummingbirds! They were feeding at the hosta flowers and took great exception to my being in "their" territory! They flew around my head and past my ears for a few seconds, twittering and chittering for all they were worth, then flew away. What a thrill!!!

Birds in all creation will be twittering in the trees

You can swim in it if you please!
Though the Punch and Run (Punchin Run?) is frigid all year and not conducive to swimming!
Puncheon Run.
