Two weeks, 10 pounds of sugar and about 200 snaps later, these pictures from our vacation in Cloudcroft, NM capture the fascination each of us had with the hummingbirds who every day visited our porch from dawn until nightfall.
Cursory research suggests that hummingbirds remain a few hours from starvation at all times, so I considered syrup-making serious business.
4 cups boiling water to 1 cup sugar, let it cool. Fill feeders.
Consider the birds, how would they fare after we had gone?
Which reminded me when my friend Sheridan said as I instructed her how to avoid the 30-foot tree while backing out of my driveway, "How do I get along without you when you are not with me?"
