Six Word Saturday # 6


Helping others
can make
miracles
happen.


I saved this little Hummer from the jaws of a cat. After warming it up and checking the wounds, it sat in my hand for a short while, gazed up at me as if to say thank you and then it flew away.
I watched it for a while knowing who it was by the rumpled feathers. It came to me twice more, inches away each time. I know it understood what I did.
I'll never forget this moment.

  1. Wow goosebumps here.......
    You see the hummingbird is special to you and you to the hummingbird!
    What a special story!
    These events must make you realize you came with a special purpose on this earth for animals (and for many of us;))

  4. What a lovely story, Lo.... you do have the "magic" touch...and perhaps our dear Renee had a hand in it too.

    I believe all creatures are connected and I am sure that little "Hummer" returned to say "thank you" for saving him/her.

    What a lovely way to begin the weekend - thank you for sharing!

  12. What an amazing story! I've never seen a hummingbird sit still for even two seconds and to be in your hand??? that is like a sign from somewhere - but yes...I agree with the others - you are so special to the animals and they recognize it.

    LOVE the mudguppies!!

  18. That's really awesome...they had a show on humming birds and how territorial they are...they set up a stuffed one and a male hummingbird attacked it, piercing it with it's beak over 200 times before it finally fell of the perch...I was kind of shocked ...

  20. Oh my, that is too wonderful! Another reason my cat Lucy doesn't go outside!
    Thanks for your visit. I graduated from BHS in 83. I always believed I move back and live there..but..My husband is actually on a job interview in Groton CT. this week. We may be moving and I am sick at heart...after 20 years up north you just grow deep roots.
    I have seen and love your work, I have never sold any of mine. They never seem done. :)
