Hummingbird: food recipe

Bring 4 cups water to a boil and stir in 1 cup sugar. Stir to dissolve about 1 - 2 minutes. When cool, pour into the a pitcher or an old pop liter bottle and refrigerate until needed. You do not need to add food coloring. When the weather gets hot (80's and 90's) don't let the food set in the feeders for more than a couple of days. You'll make the birds sick.

Grandma Ida

This poem I found goes out to my cousin Michele. Her grandmother Ida past away yesterday.

God needed one more to fill the empty space,he looked around the hospital and saw your sweet face,when you stopped breathing,we knew you were gone,you went so peacefully,so we knew you chose the right home,we knew your skies weren't so blue,and the roads were getting too tough for you,but you fought that fight,and you did the best you could do,the best part was you didn't die alone,the day God sent you home.
