I love this! It's almost time for our hummingbirds to be back from their winter quarters. I miss them when they're gone. :-) V&F

Thanks Sheila for the great comments and the f/v. Yes it is about time for them and I am just two days away from our summer place in Emmett, ID and I hope they are waiting for me.
