Pillow report

I've got to report the results of the new pillow were better than expected. That pillow was loaded with ZZZZ's that allowed me an extra hours sleep before I came to(I would say back to my senses, but that's a stretch.). Such a deal and well worth the wait.

There has been a new addition to Mel. Coming to the valley where the hummingbirds spend some time on their migration to Mexico has just heightened my sense of what a special little creature they are so I decided to set up a feeding station to observe them first hand.

I found a feeder with suction cup mounts that fit right on Mel's window.

A few of the little fellows have already discovered the nectar cafe.


And word seems to be spreading.

They seem to be enjoying the mixture.

The little pigs have already consumed about half of the 14 ounce container. This should be an entertaining show.

Today we are, as usual, in Sunday mode which means football and baseball and now maybe some hummingbird watching. Just part of being easily amused while enjoying the good life.

  3. This past summer I must have shot a hundred Pictures of those little guys just to get a few good ones The problem was there were over a dozen feeders hang from the eaves of a building and they kept zipping from one to the other. It was still a fun way to Enjoying the Good Life. Be Safe.

    It's about time.

    2. Yeah, it's sure hard to get those little critters to slow down for a picture.

  4. No red color needed. Some ornithologists say it actually may harm. The red on the feeder is enough.

  5. Thanks for the reminder. We need to get ours out. We finally broke down and put up to of them because they were fighting over the one. They get really possessive of "their" feeder. And I have yet to get a good picture. Glad the pillow worked so well for you. Well worth the wait.

    1. I've seen a couple of them diving at one another and we might have to enforce some time outs if they don't behave.

  6. Thanks for the pillow report, glad to see you got enough ZZZZs after your long, hard driving days. That extra sleep was good for you, gave you enough strength to hand up that hummingbird feeder.

    Don't want to worry about you over doing it!

  8. Great pillow you have there.
    the hummers can be very entertaining. It doesn't matter how many feeders you put out they will still fight.
    When you run out of the red stuff just use sugar water.

    Whats with the blue underlined words blogger has added to all blogs?

  12. John, I have a recipe to make your own water for the birds. It is a bad rumor that it has two be red. Here ya go: 1 part sugar with 4 parts water. Will store in frig for 2 weeks. NO need to boil! Easy & it works. Give it a try. The man box of Dave's is coming along. We are leaving Kimball today!

      You and Dave need to point south before you get snowed in again.
