Red and Yellow Gerber Daisys

Hummingbirds are attracted to Red and Yellow flowers!! They like big drifts of the same color cause they can see it better!! Its like a beacon saying come sip my nectar!! LOL!!! Ive been lucky to have lots of hummingbirds but they seem to be increasing more and more as the end of summer comes! They are getting ready for the big flight to South and Central America!! Ive seen the babies come to the feeder that were born this year, so cute and small and dainty!! You may even have new hummers visiting your feeder as they are traveling and stop for a drink and some sugary energy! Here are some neat facts that ive read and thought you would enjoy knowing: - Weigh less than 4 grams

- Have oversize chest muscles that are nearly a third of their body weight

-can fly up to 30 mph and dive as fast as 60mph with up to 200 wing strokes

per second

- Build tiny nests made of thistle and dandelion down held together by

spider web

- Lay two or three eggs that are so small that a penny can cover them

- Are superpollinators. One hummer can visit as many as 1,500 flowers a day

-Are marathon migrators. In fall, they head toward central america. The

ruby throated hummer flies as faar 2,000 miles, including non stop 600

mile crossing over the gulf of Mexico

- Have amazing memories. They return to the same nectar-rich gardens

each year.

Consider it a blessing if have hummingbirds, Gods creation is amazing isnt it?

On another note I found an awesome window cleaner that works better than any I have ever used and I tried them all!! Warm water and a microfiber cloth (2) . 1 part ammonia, 3 parts water and dot of dishwashing soap!! Mix together in a bucket, dip 1 clother ring it out wipe window and take the other cloth and dry window, Streak Free and beautiful!!!

**** Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all of these? He who brings out the

starry host one by one, and calls them each by name..... Isaiah 40:26******
