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.
