Waiting for the Hummers

It's way too early for hummingbirds in western Missouri so I thought you might enjoy seeing my hummingbird plates used in my tablescape. I usually don't start with my evening photos but this time I will.

I keep hummingbird feeders right outside my kitchen window. My husband and I always enjoy watching them while we eat lunch or an early evening dinner.

This tablescape is on my round glass topped kitchen table. The  tablecloth  belonged to my Mom and was passed on to me from my Dad.

Now the daytime photos.

The vase and plate in the middle of the table are both Fiestaware. I really like the plate because it is flat, it is their pizza plate and comes in 13 and 15 inch(this is the 13 inch). The flowers are peonies, I like peonies even though I have never seen a hummer on one. 

I'm using my white plates, pink cloth napkins, silver napkins rings and pink Fostoria glasses that I used on my pink tablescape for Valentine's Day. That tablescape was on my dining room table so I just moved those pieces from one table to another. You can see the small stitching on the tablecloth in this photo.

The humming birds are birds that comprise the family Trochilidae. They can hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 12-80 times per second. They are also the only group of birds able to fly backwards.

I don't think you will want to sit at the table with me till the hummers arrive, so we will check back in late spring for them. I'll be watching for them. My neighbor always calls me to tell me she saw the hummingbird scout. I am not sure if they really send out a scout but I did read that the males migrate first to set up a territory and then the females follow within a week to 10 days.

Thanks for stopping by - Judy.
