Like Two Sparrows…

There’s a country song whose chorus goes “like two sparrows in a hurricane, trying to find their way” or something like that. I took this picture earlier today and it made me think of that song.

We finally got some much-needed rain around lunchtime today. As I was walking by one of my breakfast room windows while it was raining pretty hard, I saw these 2 sparrows (or are they finches, I can never tell the difference!) huddled up on the back side of my hummingbird feeder. This feeder hangs from the eave, so they were effectively under shelter and out of the rain. They were so puffy and wet and all huddled up. I went and grabbed my camera and got 3 pictures before they saw me and flew away. Needless to say, 2 of them came out blurry (argh, must learn to use my camera soon) and then this one:

    Yes I remember that song; don’t recall the name of it though.

    Um, tell me you sent the rain to Texas!

    Tanya Tucker sang that. It was a big hit for her several years ago 🙂

    We’re getting some rain today, too, thank goodness!

    Hope you have a terrific weekend!

    I don’t know the song, but these two guys are adorable. Cheers.

    How neat! They’re so pitiful-looking.
    We’ve gotten some very much-needed rain this week, too. Lots of lightning along with it, but I can deal with that. We’ve had a very dry summer.
