Confused hummingbirds

[firecat]

Both yesterday and today, a ruby-throated hummingbird hovered within inches of the window screen to the left of my computer. It was close enough that I could hear its wings beating (unsurprisingly, they make a low humming/buzzing sound) and hear it chirping.

There was a cat in the window each time. I guess my cats look like yummy flowers.

Ah, Songs from the Wood... I discovered that my senior year of college, and probably drove the other kids on my floor nuts by playing it obsessively over and over again. Then I went home for the summer and drove my parents nuts by doing the same, interspersed with Steeleye Span's Below the Salt. I still like to describe my vocal range by saying that when I first wake up in the morning, I can sing "Velvet Green" in the same octave!

Yep, it's a favorite album of mine.

I can sing Velvet Green in the same octave. It doesn't sound all that great, though. :-)
