Somehow we gained a new member in our family. She lives in our front porch area. We noticed her about a week ago and we think she is here to stay, at least for awhile. Funny thing, is that we were going to get rid of all the shrub in this area to make way for what is supposed to be a mini courtyard of sorts, where we were planning on doing True’s party, but our renovation plans will have to wait until our tiny family member leaves. Yes… our plans change for a bird. Everyone, we would like to introduce you to Mrs. Huneybird (as True likes to call her)…
This is Mrs. Huneybird’s little home…
She made this home for her two little Huneybirds…
We can hardly wait to meet them! Us girls (and Ben) spend a lot of time just looking out the window watching the hummingbird (True thinks it is called honey-bird). Today, was my first time trying to get as close as possible outside to take a picture (without touching the nest or any part of that shrub as we want her to know she is welcome). Plus, we don’t want to get in trouble because it is illegal to even hold, harass, or touch a hummingbird nest or egg… really!
It really is amazing to see God’s little creation right outside our window. We are all in awe. He takes care of the birds, how much more does he take care of us. I can’t wait to do little projects and things with the girls that have to do with hummingbirds. I think they would really enjoy it!
This week is a busy week as I must, at least try, to sew some Easter outfits and True’s birthday outfit. Well, we’ll see how far I get…
Happy Monday all!!!
what a heartwarming posts! the little eggs look so cute in there 😀
Oh my goodness–so cute and sweet! I am incredibly jealous!
How fun to watch! Such a cute little nest.
oh WOW! What a special treat. I have never seen a hummingbird nest in action, and have always wanted to. You must have a very special space, to attract such a timid guest!
How special! The Mrs. Huneybird and her eggs are precious. 🙂 (I like her name too…haha! It’s cuter than hummingbird.)
Wow, you are so lucky….such a rare find, and so close to you!! Can’t wait to hear about the babies 🙂
amazing, we had a humming bird build a nest once in the supports of the awning above our kitchen window. It was so much fun to watch the mama brood the eggs and watch the little ones hatch. They are so small. congratulations on your guest!
Very sweet!
That is so sweet! What a gift.
ohhhh thanks for the info! i didn’t know its illegal to hold/touch/harass a hummingbird. There’s always 2 of them playing with the water fountain outside our condo(they think its a bird bath). I’ve tried to take pictures, but they just always fly away…
I’ve never seen one just sitting! that’s brilliant!
How lucky! The kids must be LOVING this! Great pictures. Love the sweet one peering in at the little eggs.
She is beautiful! My little girl would love to see her! Enjoy meeting family Huneybird.
What a sweet post and a nice little treat outside your window for your cute little family.
God Blesses us in many ways.

I have recently stumbled on your blog and was just going through some of your older posts today. I must say that this is so cool that you had a hummingbird nest right there and that you could watch the eggs hatch and babies grow. Thanks for sharing:)
