With or Without

Would you like that coffee with or without sugar? • How about the baked potato, with or without butter and sour cream? • Do you like your ice cream sundae with or without nuts? • These common questions lead me to today’s blip: runner beans, with or without a ruby-throated hummingbird? Unfortunately, for today, that question has been answered - without! • I really tried capturing a ruby red hovering near these beautiful scarlet flowers but it wasn’t meant to be. I’ll keep trying over these next few weeks in hopes of getting one before they head south. That will be a sad day, a day without hummingbirds • Breezy, Hot and Humid today. Could it be summer’s last hurrah now with August coming to a close? Storms tomorrow should cool it down to more comfortable temperatures. We can’t wait!
