Feeding the Hummingbirds...

Tweet

I went past the kitchen window earlier, and saw that all three of our hummingbird feeders were empty (or very close it). So, I made more food. This is the recipe that my mother uses (and that I used). 1. Fill four-cup measuring cup with two cups sugar, then four cups water (water will sink below the sugar). 2. Put a few drops of desired color food coloring in mixture 3. Heat mixture (in measuring cup if glass) for five minutes in microwave. 4. Remove cup from microwave, stir until sugar is dissolved. 5. Let mixture cool until only slightly warm or cool (unless your hummingbird feeder is plastic, then let mixture get cold!), pour into humming bird feeder. 6. Replace feeder bottom (make sure it is on tight, so that it doesn’t spill out when the feeder is turned right-side up). 7. Hang feeder and watch the birds! ;) Mom poured hot hummingbird food into a plastic feeder, and needless to say it was an interesting shape until it finally cracked/broke...
