Hummingbirds And Their Feeders

Hummingbirds are such a delight in my opinion! They are very little, very fast, very curious, very beautiful, very competitive, very feisty and a whole lot of fun!  I recently came across this little info regarding care of a Hummingbird feeder.  And, some of the information is new to me. There may be some information new and/or interesting to you, too.

If you are interested in some detailed information about Hummingbirds this is a very informative website. I guess I can say "everything you ever  wanted to know about Hummingbirds - and more!   https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/birds/facts-about-hummingbirds/

A few days ago I went to Ace Hardware that has a lovely Garden Center.  And I realized that it was the first time this year that I have been anywhere that sells plants , etc.  That means that I have NOT spent even a penny on my garden this year. And, that is for several reasons. I have not had the energy/stamina to do anything that isn't necessary. Another reason is that I don't have the strength to work with whatever I purchase.

The only activity that I have been able to do in the garden has simply been to maintain it by weeding and pruning what needs it and of course a lot of hand watering and setting and moving a sprinkler.  And, you know what - - - the garden looks quite good.  At the present time, my corner property is bordered with 25 Bright Red Oleander shrubs that are in total bloom.  It is a beautify sight when you approach my corner. I wanted to take a photo but the sun exposure has not been good when I think about it. 

Oh, I found I have a couple photos!  The hedge is about six feet tall and still growing.

In reality the color looks more red.

It is starting to give some nice privacy, which I appreciate.  Especially since I am not particularly well groomed these days! 😎

That's it for today.  Be Happy - Be Healthy.
