The weather pattern from yesterday persisted through mid day today with light showers and a drizzling mist. That did not have much of an impact on todays activities however, as brunch today centered around the TV in the Great Room watching Tiger Woods win the British Open.

Humming birds pray at the red sugar water god. Photo by Connie

Last week, we had a blog post about hummingbirds at the inn. Our friend, Connie, sent me 2 pictures following that subject. The first one concerned a bird feeder that was identified by a local bear as a tasty summer treat. Evidently the bear decided to bend the support rod holding the bird feeder above the ground. The result is todays blog picture.

On the topic of hummingbirds, Connie also captured a nice picture of 2 birds sitting on the feeder evidently praying to the red sugar water god. Their prayers seem to be effective, as the local bear has not been attracted to the hummingbird feeder as yet. Ah...the perils of living in Vermont. Lions and tigers and bears...Oh My!
