whimsical wednesday!

today the whimsical wednesday activity was to hang hummingbird feeders.  while in town yesterday, i purchased a 10 pound bag of sugar for making nectar.  (this bag of sugar should last for quite awhile this season unless a swarm of hummers appear to dine!)  this morning, the nectar was made and put in the refrigerator to chill.  the feeders were brought in from the garage and washed.  the two that were hung today are glass; one dad used and gave to me last year and a new one purchased on sale last fall.  early afternoon, the feeders were filled and hung outside; one in the front of the house and one in the back.  putting feeders in more than one location will allow hummingbird viewing wherever we might be outside or in the house.  there's nothing to do now but wait and watch for the hummingbirds to arrive.  if nectar is offered, they will come!
