How's your garden, birds and summer going? I have the feeder out. This year, no visitors so far. Last year, I don't know if you recall, I finally had two. I was hoping they would return. I'm still keeping the feeder out, in hope. :)

Great, thanks! The girls start back to school tomorrow, so I have to endure the annual Moan & Groan Fest, but they'll survive!

I remember your visitors from last year! They will be back, even though they do 'skip' years sometimes. I saw a Rufous a couple of days ago. Hadn't seen one for 3 years. He didn't stick around, but at least I know they've started their migration.

If you feed them, they will come!

How has your summer been? Is hubby still having to endure Texas in the summertime?

I finally put out a hummingbird feeder after coming home to my Central Texas house.. I have never had much luck but I saw a male ruby throat whiz by my "nature, bird and varmit viewing" sliding door..

I changed where I placed the feeder after a couple of days of no action.... walked in the house looked up and had one feeding.
I have one male and one at a time females..(if there is more than one). I have enjoyed watching them. They have to fight off the bees. I need bee guards.
