Welcome Julie! I am new to this forum myself, and this is my first year with feeders, so I can't answer you question. I do know that last summer was our first year in this house and I saw a few hummers now and then , but this year I saw more hanging around so I went and got feeders, now I have a bunch! Hang in there with whats left of the storm! Lisa

When I was a kid, my aunt made a batch of cookies for the parish priest. Later, he told her how much he loved those "delicious lemon cookies. " "Lemon? " my aunt thought. There wasn't any lemon in the recipe. She went home and dug out the card to double check. No lemon. Then she went through all the ingredients she had used, trying to figure out where the flavor had come from. The wrong extract? Nope, that wasn't it. Had something gone sour? No. Finally, the only thing left was the oil, which this particular recipe used instead of butter or shortening. She went under the cupboard to get the bottle. Apparently, she had never felt comfortable handling big jugs of oil, which were glass back then, so she usually transferred some to a plastic squeeze bottle, typically an empty dishwashing detergent container. This time, there were two squeeze bottles in the cabinet. One said, "Lemon Joy." She never told the priest. But we always wondered what is next bathroom visit was like.

Well... I am embarrassed to say so far so good--- we packed up the dogs and went to stay with a friend for the day on Saturday because our agent had back to back viewings schedule all day. We are very, very fortunate that we received (and accepted) a good cash offer Saturday night. So we are now under contract. I do have to put them all in their car crates and disappear for inspection but if that goes well, we should be headed to the closing table. But it was high stress- one is 15 and has some senior dementia and gets so anxious and the other two are just high energy. They never got comfortable at our friend's house even with us there. There is no way I would have been able to manage them by myself for showings during the week while hubby works. I am hoping and praying this contract keeps moving forward.... Good luck to us all!
