I made hummingbird food, got it out of the microwave, and proceeded to spill it all over the stovetop. Now, another batch is cooling in the microwave. Sigh... I hope that all is well with you in your part of...

Hello, all! I am still feeling crummy--though I saw looking out the window that the hummingbird feeder is empty and I need to get some more food made whether I feel like it or not. I need to get breakfast and coffee. I see...

Hello, all! Today I need to go to the library to pick up a book, and today start reading the book. I need to make new hummingbird food, as the feeder outside is pretty much empty. The plants will need watering. I would...

I knew from the description that the new hummingbird feeder that I got held more than ones I've had in the past, but when I made the food I used my two cup measuring cup like I usually do and it didn't fill the new feeder, so I...

Stacey @xstitcher (39034) • Petaluma, California 13 Mar 25

...and now the hummingbird food is cooling. Putting the hummingbird feeder took some doing, as it was one of those "instert part A into part B" kind of deals, but by the grace of God I got it together without my head exploding....

Stacey @xstitcher (39034) • Petaluma, California 27 Jul 24

While I was out there, the sun started to break through the clouds. When I was close to the pole where the humming bird feeder was, a hummingbird came by, looked at me, and left. It probably was wary of me, but I imagined it...

I finished the hummingbird painting yesterday. I finished the body off first with some more burgundy. I'd already added some yellow ochre to his front a few days earlier. I adjusted his face and added more white at the top. I...

Hummingbird Approves of New Feeder

CarolDM @CarolDM (203396) • Nashville, Tennessee 1 Sep 22

Bought this hummingbird feeder last year and never put it up in the garden. Finally decided to have it attached to a pole in the garden would be better than actually using the hanger it came with. I have one hanging on the deck...

Caught another one

Stacey @xstitcher (39034) • Petaluma, California 7 Aug 21

On camera, anyway. Last night coming home from a walk, I snapped this photo before going back into the apartment. The hummingbirds here seem to be more leery of humans than they were at my house--maybe because there's more...
