Another hot dry week here. It’s really quite amazing how much rain towns around Belle River have been getting but nothing here despite forecasts. My Tennessee daughter sent me pictures of a virtual lake running down her yard, my south Florida granddaughter has expressed joy that the rain there seems to be over. I’m looking out to a yard that is increasingly brown, bare and pitiful. It actually did rain just a little yesterday, but I don’t think the ground even got wet. I guess I should not complain. That feast or famine thing.
Mr. Huet, I filled my feeder and at least two Hummingbirds have been buzzing around this morning. I think they gave me a nasty look which might have said it was about time to get some juice in here!
I make my own liquid with one cup of sugar to four cups of water and used to add a drop of red food coloring but read that the Hummers didn’t need the color and it might even not be good, so now I just keep it clear. I think the red color was for me more than the birds!
