I’m writing to express gratitude to a seasonal neighbor who brings joy to my life each year.
That neighbor is a Ruby Throated Hummingbird, or maybe two. These tiny birds reaffirm life by returning from a long migration each year. They delight observers with their beauty and remarkable agility. It is reassuring to see them each spring.
It is easy to attract hummingbirds to your yard. All it takes is an inexpensive feeder with 1/4 of refined sugar dissolved in a cup of water, replaced frequently.
Try it. I guarantee it is worth the effort.
