A hummingbird came to my garden for the first time!
It was here yesterday and checked the feeder my friend Carolyn gave me. Naturally, the feeder was empty because I’ve never used it for that. It’s been for decorative purposes only.
So, maybe 10 minutes after I saw the bird, I had hummingbird food made and the feeder cleaned out. (Got to love the Internet for getting information quickly.)
That included the time it took to chase a garter snake out of the back screen porch. I found him when I bolted through the porch to retrieve the feeder.
Well, the food had to cool and then it rained, so I figured the little hummer wouldn’t be back. But, I was wrong. It’s been back a couple times today too. Now, I can’t stop looking out the window every two minutes or so.
