This just in: the ruby-throated hummingbirds are back from wherever they spend the winter. Mexico, I think. (Google says so, too) This, I know because I was sitting here with the front door propped open and a hummingbird flew into my house. (They do that pretty much all summer long.) This one was brighter than most and it flew back out without requiring my intervention. Thought you'd like to know.

Also, chopsticks are the perfect utensils for eating olives out of the jar. No drippy olives. No wet fingers. No mess. Can reach through the juice to get to the last few olives. No additional holes in the olives. (This is, for some reason, important to me.)
