Hummer Frenzy

The hummingbirds are in a tizzy as they prepare for their southern migration.
I add a little extra sugar to the nectar recipe this time of year to provide them a bit more energy.
I'll refill the feeders before we leave Tuesday and then it's every hummer for humself. It will be quiet when we return in November, without our tiniest, feathered friends.

    My Auntie Di has several she feeds...she's khalled Mom whilst they were out there and she gets all nu-nu about them!

    Mom shared some of the sites fur making 'food' instead of buying it! They seem to like the recipe!

    Our Mom loves hummers - they fly so fast that we can't catch one to see if we would like it our not.

    We can't believe you will be gone for 2 whole months!! We will surely miss you and look forward to your return.

    Hi Kit and crew!!!
    Go DAWGS indeed...we're pulling for them. The hummers up here have turned into mega drinking machines. They are completely draining my feeder every 2 days or so. I love those little guys.

    Our hummers are leaving fast. No one is at my feeder this morning. So sad... but I wish them a safe journey.

    I love your labs. They look so sweet. We had three (one of each color) until recently when our 14 year old died. Our duo still keeps us smiling though!

    Have a fun 2 months on the road. I'm so envious. Would love to take off and see where the path takes me.

    I love the hummingbirds! I went to see my 92-yr old grandmother a few months ago (in Scottsdale, AZ), and she had me but up a feeder outside her kitchen window!

    Ms K -

    As a new blogger I have a few questions I'd like to ask "off line" - could you email me at:

    centralbarkdesigns@gmail.com?

    Enjoy your holiday weekend - Wendy

    It never ceases to amaze me that they will expend so much energy keeping one another away from the feeders or flowers.
