HUMMINGBIRD SOS

-

 '

"REAL LEARNING"  I am enamored by hummingbirds.  They are one of God's most amazing creatures.  Mankind in all of our technological advances can not fly like a hummingbird.  I'm a hummingbird nerd. I spent an hour one day just reviewing hummingbird feeders in order to find the best one.  I then spent another hour trying to place it in the best location for viewing in relation to my favorite chair.  I even have binoculares within arms reach so I can watch them more closely.  "Anna" hummingbirds (if they have a stable food source) will often weather over in the more mild temperature of Cowlitz County.  With our recent  snow and freezing I worried that my hummingbirds would starve.  Hummingbirds must eat every 10 min and will consume 1/2 its body weight each day.  So I was constantly bringing in my feeder, thawing it out and replacing it.  Each time I would bring it back I would be dive bombed.  Not sure if it was a hummingbird thank you or threat.  Hang in there lovely little hummingbirds the thaw and rain is on its way.

Here is why: During World War II, people's spirits were troubled and life was complicated. Supplies were short and people were worried. The Hoover administration asked families to help America by planting vegetable gardens in their backyards, churchyards, city parks, and playgrounds. These small and essential gardens became known as “Victory Gardens”. Victory Gardens were important because families worked together and they felt the satisfaction of nurturing and watching their vegetables grow. Not only did their gardens sustain them, they also allowed families to share with their neighbors and promote a spirit of giving. Victory Gardens gave Americans the opportunity to focus on something other than the war.    83 years after the first Victory gardens, Life is again difficult, with a pandemic, inflation, high fuel prices, etc, etc. Perhaps ...

  BEING A REAL ESTATE AGENT  The good, bad and ugly (PART 2)       THE BAD! A Realtor, You wake Up Every Morning Unemployed.
