[dropcap]S[/dropcap]ometimes a photo is not available. Such is the case with what RonTom described when I returned home from a bus trip to Wichita Falls (to hear Beth Moore) with ladies of Fellowship Church.

Remember how I told you about putting blond dog hair from my mom’s dog, Buddy, into a “suet cage” for birds to use as nesting material, hanging just outside our breakfast window? Over the weekend, Ron saw hummingbirds pulling Buddy’s hair from the cage. Can you imagine a tiny little hummer flying with a clump almost as large as itself? That’s what Ron described. Long strands of almost loose dog hair stream from the wire cage.

Earlier in the season, we watched bluebirds and titmice stuff their beaks full.
