Happy Thankful Thursday!!
May your day be filled with lots of thankfulness!
We are on letter Hh of the Gratitude Alphabet! H is for Hummingbird!
Joey is thankful
for Hummingbirds! He loves to sit in his backyard and watch the hummingbirds
fly backwards, sideways, and upside down!! Hummingbirds can even hover in
place! Hummingbirds are one of the smallest birds in the world. The Bee hummingbird
is the smallest bird in the world.
