A short video of the hummingbirds that like it here.

I've got between 15-20 hummers here, too. Only have 2 feeders up.

Although our mama hen stopped her obsessive digging, she still likes to dig. I gathered big rocks from the creek and lined the entire fence inside perimeter so they couldn’t undermine the fence. I wanted something under the coop to stop them from undermining the coop too, but it was too low to work under with heavy stuff. We had this piece of cement board and it fit perfectly in there (w a gentle slope to shed water) and I got brick pavers to position around it.
Now instead of ever-growing craters underneath, they have a nice patio and a flat surface for the feeder. They are almost 3 wks old now

Mother nature is off her meds again it seems. Shes either scorching us, drowning us or trying to blow us away latley. Ain't been much in between.

Looks like a few nice days next week temperature wise... might be lumberjacking time...

We got 1.5” rain overnight and this morning, and more is coming tonight. Drove to Pittsburg KS and saw lots of broken tree limbs there.

Not sure how much rain we've gotten, but significant! A nice, sready, soaking rain, too. The grass is green again and wants mowing. And the ring of pink Surprise Lilies around my house is almost spectacular!

My grandma always called those pink lilies naked ladies.

Yes, they call them that here too. They are also called resurrection lilies, I like that! Breck's has them in 4 colors. Never heard of them till I came here.
