My View of Life on the Dock
The view out our bedroom window at sunrise this morning, before all was overtaken by (more) rain clouds.
BTW, the RTHummingbirds and Orioles are loving the nectar from our crabapple and flowering fruit tree blossoms 🙂
Dear Gardening Friends,
With orchard fruit trees coming into bloom, we should be seeing the Baltimore (Northern) Orioles any day now. In mid-March we filled our hummingbird feeders and placed them in the garden, in anticipation of the earliest hummingbird scouts, and last year the orioles drank freely the sugar-water provided for the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. Sugar-water recipe for orioles and hummingbirds: 1/4 cup granulated sugar to 1 Cup warm water. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Wash feeders in hot soapy water, with white vinegar added, and replace sugar-water on a twice weekly schedule, to prevent mold.
Oh Joyous Spring!
Warmest wishes,
Kim
