Winter Feeding
Comments (1)Are you West side of the mountains? The Anna's winter over every year here - and I've only helped them out the last couple of years, when some of their favorite plants were lost to a cold snap, replacements needed some time to grow and perform. They've been fine finding protection and food without my intervention other years, many seasons they have startled me in January when I would be doing work around one large winter blooming daphne. I do keep 4 flood lights on back yard and rear driveway all night, I haven't seen them go to them though, only that they show up at the feeders approx a half hour before daylight. That gives me time to bring feeders in over night if it's going to get down into the 'teens', put them back about 6:30 AM, making sure food with warming calories is never unavailable. In coldest weather, I mix the ratio of sugar to water stronger, about 1 part sugar to three parts water - and it doesn't freeze as quickly. Your visitor may be warming himself at your light, or the fixture might give him a good viewpoint to 'guard' his feeder. If you can leave it on at night I would - it may help with warmth, and it can't hurt with your own security. According to the police, outside lights are one of the best theft deterrents going :) Here is a link that might be useful: Wild Birds Hummer tips - Salem...See MoreGood News and Bad News
Comments (3)Actually my sylvester seems to have perked up since the weather warmed up. It may not be toast after all. Things around here pretty much have to make it over the winter as is. That's why I don't try to "protect" anything other than with a protected site and a good mulch. We can go from below 20 to over 60 F in the space of a couple of days and back again, all winter long....See MoreSolutions For Keeping Multiple Courses Of Plates Warm?
Comments (6)When I started talking to DH about a WD, he asked the Alto Sham rep at work about their drawers. They do have a commercial looking drawer that can be ordered as one or a two or even three drawer stack. They're meant to sit undercounter or above, but not really in cabinetry like a residential drawer. Then he found this one. The chef there loves this bigger unit I linked below. Said he uses it all the time during dinner parries. Have you been to Bargreen Ellingson in Portland? They probably have one of these around to see IRL.

Comments (2)It was too hot. I add the cheese to soups after I remove them from the heat. I do not want to keep it simmering. You can always very carefully reheat, without bringing to a boil. ~Ann...See More- 6 years ago
