While giving the parakeets their mid-morning bath, I saw a male, red-crested brown bird drinking water from the birdbath. I pointed the hose and its spray mist towards it to give the small bird a light shower. It washed a little bit and flew off.
Later, Maw wanted me to harvest one of her zucchini, which I did but accidentally cut one of its long leaf. Both of us eyed small baby birds fluttering around inside our pear trees of plenty to my immediate left.
To my immediate right, I noticed how low the water level was for the birdbath. I dragged the hose over, spilled out the water and filled it up with fresh water. To my adjacent right, there were three potted plants of bitter melon.
Maw exclaimed there was a small humming bird behind it make-shift trellis (created by Paw and I) for the vines to climb up easier. I tried to acknowledge to her but didn’t want to be loud and scare of the little bird.
Later, I water Maw’s other vegetable plants: two eggplants and two peppers. At around 0630AM as per my watch and its incorrect time, which really should have read 1042AM, that same small hummingbird flew briefly to about my eye level and at a ten o’clock direction before flying off towards the south.
