To Be A Hinkley Hummer


This just in from the beloved, bewitched and big time bird-besmirched Dan Hinkley who keeps his hummingbird feeder heated for his feathered friends. (Don't miss the bird in the pix, about 9 o'clock).

Of course to make my first mention of Mr. Hinkley about his bulb-warmed feeder is seriously burying the lede. And he'd never stand for it, not when it's about him! So let's back up a few months to when the sun was coaxing riotous bloom out at Windcliff, Dan and Robert Jones's sublime and spoiled-rotten home and garden. The free tour starts here.

  1. Hiya Dan!

    My deceased mother (Michelle "Mickie" Pailthorp) loved you and Ketzel too. Hope you are warm and happy, growing and thriving in your native land... and/or cared for by a thoughtful gardener!

  2. hi ketzel -

    i heard the first and last in your american moxie series. when i heard the first - i was really grateful for it. it just felt like what america needed, what i needed. though i haven't been affected by the economy via the downsizing so many are experiencing - i do find myself moving and attempting to start a business for the first time ever in these really rough times and it scares me to death. your series touched so many and gave us a little bit of what we needed, and i really thank you for that.

    today i heard the last of the series, followed by your own story. good lord. i do believe in divinity and do believe there is a reason why you did the series, directly connected to what's happening with you now. i know it must be so incredibly hard but please know that there are many that your stories have touched who are wishing you well. and, as you know - you are not alone.

    keep the faith,
    prajna.
