Hosing with humming birds
Wouldn't you know it, no camera with me this morning while watering the garden. A humming bird came by and started feeding from some of the flowers. Then, to my huge amusement, she tried to perch on a large hosta leaf to drink the water droplets. Not easy and she kept slipping and rolling off to one side. It was so funny and a struggle not to be disrespectful enough to laugh. She gave up after a while after a few more sips of nectar flew through the spray from the hose to wet her wings and then sat on a branch cleaning up.

Ok, for the dummy, explain hosta's and how they grow.
Hostas are plants that grow well in shade and have decorative leaves, or at least they did until the deer stopped by. These leaves are very large in some varieties.
