Coming out of a extremely long winter can bring such joy for blooming daffodils and grass growing between your feet. Found treasures to be seen as auction season begins.... and founding how the crabgrass just appeared in the flowers. But to sit with the comfort of grass and hear birds singing not near the chore. How do those roots grow so long...what are they reaching to obtain? Definitely not the take over of my garden! The hummingbirds have been sighted in Iowa and as far North as the Great Lakes! My true sign of summertime! My feeders are out and I am now waiting for my first sighting!
Fill those feeders they will be very tired from that very long flight. The best mix I have found to use is:
1 part sugar to 4 parts of water
Boil 2 minutes and keep cover as not to evaporate
Cool then fill those feeders.
Do not need to add the additive of red food coloring
So help out those tired little bodies with some much needed "go power", so we can enjoy them for a bit!
