tiny little lives, part 1

We have installed a new hummingbird feeder on our back (front?) porch. (I'd like to conduct a poll - which side of Grandma and Grandpa's house is the front, and which is the back?) So far so good about the new location for the hummingbird feeder (hanging from the house instead of from a tree) - we no longer call out our usual "hummingbird alert" because there's almost always at least one hummingbird on its way to or from the feeder. And if there's more than one, there's usually an entertaining air battle to watch. And perhaps best of all, we seem to have solved our squirrel problem. Have you ever heard of squirrels being addicted to guzzling sugar water?!?

Neat photos. And it seems that you guys spend most of your time out back, away from the road. The road, and not usage, determines front and back in my opinion.

Hmm. I disagree. Why else would it be called a water-FRONT property?
I've heard that the sweet little hummingbird is one of the most visciously territorial birds out there, known to fight to the death with those cute needle-like beaks...but they're still fun to watch.

I think that where ever you drive up to your house from the road is the front of the house. (am I making sense?)

And the door you use to enter is the front door! Yay Meghan. Boo Heather. Meghan, aren't you supposed to be at your water-FRONT campsite at sandbanks right now? Or do you have internet access in your tent?
