This has been a cold, kind of wet Saturday. It has only misted but with the wind, it almost feels like ice pellets hitting your face.
This morning Betty and Wayne stopped by on their way home and picked up Yuki. He will be missed for he is fun to have around. They didn't stay long for they were anxious to get home.
In the afternoon Sam and Romona stopped by to tell us good bye for a little while. They are leaving for California Monday morning and will be gone a month. Sam wants me to feed the birds, and Romona wants me to keep her house plants watered. Plus just check the place and make sure no one has messed around on their land.
I was going to hang more hooks for humming bird feeders but it is just too cold to do that. Besides I don't think the humming birds will be back until the end of March or early April. I have some of the feeders already hanging out side but I don't fill them until I know I have hummingbirds. The red on the feeders help attract them. I will spot them I am sure as soon as they fly in, and that way they will have fresh nector when they arrive. I have also been hanging more bird houses but I need more places to hang them. I am thinking of asking Sam to drill a hole where I can drop a post in it, and hook for hangers on each side so I can not only put some food on the post but at least hang one bird house on it. I also ordered two more bird feeder stations. When it warms up, Ken and I will pour cement in the bottom container so the wind doesn't blow them over.
