I have a new hummingbird feeder. Today, I will make a sugar solution to fill the red glass vessel. Since rain is predicted, I will wait until Monday to hang it.
A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned to Tommy that I wished I had hummingbirds in my yard. He said he saw them all the time when he was out in the yard, mowing or feeding the hens. WHAT!?!?!? He never told me that! He swears he did.
When I was in Lowe's about two weeks ago, something swooshed past my head. I flinched a bit and turned my head to see a hummingbird landing on flowers and going round and round, gathering nectar. This was in the store proper, not out where there are flowers or even out further where the nursery is open to the sky.
I was so shocked and so inspired, deciding someone could give me a hummingbird feeder for Mother's Day. In another store, I found a moat to hang above it so that once filled with water, ants could not get onto the feeder.
My one fear now is that a raccoon will climb up and knock the feeder down.
Happy Mother's Day
ReplyDeleteThanks, and happy Mother's Day to you.
DeleteHappy Mother's Day to you! I usually get red hibiscus plants for the deck and they attract hummingbirds all summer. I love watching them.
ReplyDeleteHapppy Mother's Day to you. The red hibiscus on the deck sounds pretty.
DeleteSo glad you are back blogging. One time I was reading your blog and my husband asked what I was reading. I told him about you and every once in a while he will ask if you have started blogging again. I will have to let him know you are back
ReplyDeleteThat is sweet of him. I still cannot get into my old blog. I am going to pay a professional to help me. Yes, I am back!
DeleteHappy Mother's Day.
