Hummers at the feeder

Around the end of April I saw a hummingbird try to visit the feeder that was hanging outside our picture window. I learned how to make nectar real quick and set it out there. We had one hummingbird for a long time and then two. We didn’t really know what kind they were until recently. One day we saw two at once at the feeder and saw the ruby throat flash at the other. So cool!
I saw three fighting over the feeder yesterday and Quinn said they saw 4 last night. They returned this morning and I took a bunch of pictures. Wow they are fast! Out of about 20 pictures I got two that are usable. So neat! I could watch them for hours but who has that kind of time?
Y’all come back now!

About the author
I am a work at home Mom of two of the best boys ever. I am a Nationally Certified Master Groomer and have been grooming out of my home for the last 12 years.
We have recently moved to Greenbrier Tn on 27 acres. We are new to the "homesteading thing" but we are excited to learn. We hope to be filling our farm with many critters and a garden.
We are homeschoolers so everything is a unit study to us. It has been fun to see the boys help Dad cut firewood. We will also be learning how to build a chicken coop in the near future as well.
I have been making handcrafted soap lately as well and I am seeing an improvement in that business as well. It is all natural vegetable and goat milk based soaps. Can't wait to share this experience with everyone.
