I finally got my first downy woodpecker to visit my feeder! But it picked a fight with a house sparrow 😂

My mission this summer was to attract a hummingbird. I planted flowers specifically for them. Had a feeder out.

It was end of July - no action.

I look outside one day and see this little girl going to my salvias. I cried happy tears. I couldn't believe my eyes.

I quickly put back my feeder outside and she has now been coming all the time.

I work from home and work outside the entire day and she comes at least 15x a day.

She has come up to my face, squeaked at me. We've built such a special bond.

We are approaching end of summer and I am getting so sad at the thought I won't see her again. She has to make such a long journey back home alone. I hope she comes back next year.

Anyone else get this attached to their hummingbirds?

I have suffered from dry dull skin all my life.

Two years ago I decided to take skincare more seriously. I will be 31 soon.

My routine:

Morning:

Tirtir Milky Toner

Illiyoon Moisturizer

La Roche Pose Spf

Night:

Skinfix skin barrier cleanser

Tretinoin

Illiyoon Moisturizer

I tried using cicaplast, Vaseline but it's just too heavy for me and caused so much irritation. This simple routine helped me so much. I also have been loving squalane oil during the winter months. My skin is not perfect, but I am really happy with it.

I've been using tret for two years now. One side of my cheek that I sleep on is usually a bit more pink than my other side. I ended up developing a stye in my eye and spent a week doing hot compresses at night then applying my tret, well I think I created a mess with the heat and tret. For the past month, it was so so red filled with irritation bumps. It's gotten much better ​but I still have lots of pinkness left. Cicaplast made my face more pink so all I apply is just Illiyoon light layer plus SPF if it's daytime. I keep tret away from that entire area. Anyone have any experience to help with this irritation?

I found a newborn cottontail, eyes closed, must be a day old. It was just in the middle of my yard. I searched my entire yard three times and can't find any nest. I see the mom coming back.

Last night at 11pm the baby was still in the middle of my yard trying to raise its head, its body started to get cold, so I brought it inside in a box with some heat.

It's now the next day, it survived the night. I saw mom in the yard again. I searched once again for the nest, I found some fur in the yard but no nest.

I decided to build a nest where I found the fur, made a donut shaped hole with hay, put the baby in there covered it with some of the fur I found. I placed twigs in the shape of an X to see if it'll be moved later on.

Do you think the mom will find it? Did I do the right thing?
