The Hummingbirds Are Coming!
A few early ones have been sighted up here in MidCoast Maine.
I’m ready:
Well, almost ready. The feeders are filled and hung (one part white sugar to four parts water–no red dye please) outside. I’m going for a hanging plant for the upstairs deck that will hang next to the feeder there. I don’t know. I think the little birds just feel safer early on eating next to a plant. Plus, the flowers also draw them in.
We are having really warm weather today (80’s!!!), and my sheets are hanging on the line. Were hanging. They dried in about an hour. Cool temps will return in a few days, and I love the cool of our springs. The gardens do too.
I’m almost ready also put 2 small ones out Sunday, have to find my larger ones. The little ones stand like flowers in my reg flower garden.
