Hummingbirds Arrive!

This has been an unusual spring. Early ice out, warm temps and the hummingbirds arrive two weeks ahead of schedule. I had to scramble to get food made and feeders hung.

Happy for food. They were buzzing my office window this morning letting me know they wanted their food. It always amazes me that they remember where the food hangs.

 

 

The female waiting for the male to finish eating as he won’t share at the feeder.

 

I think we have momma making a nest in the pine tree where the feeder hangs. I tried getting a good look, put can’t quite tell. I will keep my eye out and hopefully can get a good photo. I’ll keep you posted.

16th annual Journey’s Marathon

The 16th annual Journey’s Marathon took place this past weekend. this race is a pre-qualifier for the Boston Marathon. White Birch village Resort has the honor of hosting the starting line for the full marathon. It was a beautiful morning on Saturday for the race. Much better than last year with the freezing rain.  The race starts at 8AM and it is a hub of activity from 7:15 – 8AM. By 8:15 AM you would never know anything had taken place. It’s a fun morning.

Final Stretching

 

Friends and family wishing the racers good luck.

 

Five minutes before race time.

 

The race announcer begins the race each year with the traditional Irish Blessing:
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

 

 

 

The wheel part of marathon gets a three minute head start.

 

And the race begins

 

Even a snapping turtle was trying to see what was going on.
