GUESS WHO IS BACK?

While gazing out at the rain, I was startled to see a Humming bird checking out anything red on the balcony.  Red in the chair cushions. red of the begonia and being disappointed and flew to the next balcony.  I rushed, (as fast as I can rush) and looked up the humming bird sweet water recipe, just to be sure I have it right.  I made a quart and now it is cooling.  The thing now is not to put anything else in it but water and sugar.  Food coloring is not good for them,  I have a very small feeder that you stick in a flower pot and it does not hold a lot.  But last year they seemed to appreciate it.  How exciting that those very small birds can travel so far.  Another wonder of Nature.  There are many, just think about it.
