The hummingbirds were slower coming this year. Then, the ones that were here mostly left my feeders for the honeysuckle. But now they are here in pretty large force! I have 13 feeders out, 12 of which are 32 ounce. It averages about a gallon and a half per day to keep them refilled. That translates to buying a 25 pound bag of sugar about every 2 weeks...gotta keep my hummers happy and healthy.

I love the country life even with all the work. Having loads of hummingbirds, cardinals, blue jays, woodpeckers, and many other birds to feed and watch just adds to the joy of farm fresh eggs from my hens, rides in the wagon or on one of our fine equine, and having plenty room for the dogs to romp. The Arkansas River Valley offers loads of places to live like this. Would you like to call it home?
