Wonderful thread! Gives much hope for warmer times ahead!!

The warm air is creeping northward for sure. We will enjoy that spring weather also, starting tomorrow and going up in temps the next few days. The birds are happily building many nests or reinforcing their current ones in the many bird houses I have up. One sparrow family is building in one of the bird feeders I did not use this winter. I am afraid it will be too hot for thier family, as it is on a south side. Guess they know what they are doing.

At this point, I have become numb so, if it just gets in the 30's and stays there, I would be thrilled! lol

Susan, your gardens are beautiful, I saw the photos in another thread. I really like the brick edging and the 10' tall trellis that beans (?) climb on. Do hummingbirds go for the beans or the blossoms? My gardens are all in the shade; so jealous of your all-sun garden!

Hi ValuSkr,

Yes, the Hummingbirds feed on the nectar in the blossoms...they also love perching in the vines and defending the vines as their own from other Hummers...very highly prized by the hummingbirds! During the peak of the Fall migrating season here, several hummers will defend particular sections of our 10' trellis as their own...lol

The hummers hear the angels singing when they are surrounded by the blooms...

Walk a happy dance of joy...

Sip the sweet juice...

And relax...perched comfortably on the shaded vines...also to watch/defend their new found food supply...

Then there is the sit and slurp...

[Susan Louise]

And relax, rest, but stand guard and defend!

More perch & slurp...
