Hummer time

Not a reference to the overpriced, oversized urban assault vehicle, but the little, frenetic hummingbird. We’re seeing a lot more now that it’s cooled off some than back during the big heat wave. JD invested in a red feeder you fill with sugar water. We used to do that, until the yellowjackets made a mess of it. Now we just let the Turk’s Cap and the Plumbago get bushy. They attract all the Ruby-Throats we need.
