The end of July

Wow, where have June & July gone?!
We've been busy here and, as our nectar count so clearly points out, so have the Hummingbirds!! Becky actually went through two gallons of the stuff yesterday! I know it's hard to believe that the little birds could suck down that much sugar water, but they do... A departing guest asked us this morning how may birds we have and all we could tell her is its hundreds and hundreds, maybe a thousand... who knows? Enough that we have used 25 pounds of sugar in four days. Perhaps someone out there can convert that into a count... Please call if you can!
Summer is obviously here and our guests are loving the cool nights up here... it was 57 this morning so very few people are running the air conditioners... most are just leaving the windows open and waking up to the sounds of the birds. For those of you that have never been here, the birds are about all you hear as morning arrives here. No traffic, no sirens, virtually no man made noises at all... just what nature provides.
August is shaping up to be a busy month for us... one weekend is already completely booked up and our oldest daughter is getting married on the 23rd, so we will be full that weekend with family.
Come see us soon, we would love to share our little piece of heaven with you!
Jeff & Becky
