Hummingbird Feeder

I took down the Hummingbird feeder and washed it all out. Then I made up a new batch of the special hummingbird syrup and refilled it. Ants had gotten into it too and I sprayed the shepherd's hook with ant spray. That really works to keep them out of it. I put some old salve on the pole first and it really holds the ant spray through many rains. I also had to scrub out the dirt out of the yellow flowers on it. Dust must turn to mud in the rains we have had. It was so hot the syrup had turned from red to white and the other day we saw our first Hummingbird since Spring so feel there will be more migrating south soon. We're ready for them and they are a delight to watch.
