Since they are so territorial I decided to purchase more feeders from Amazon; they’re just plastic yet very affordable. One broke several years ago after decades of service.
Unfortunately, two out of four arrived broken. Amazon customer service gave me a refund without even requesting the photo I took. A similar situation happened when I received a hand held extension cord caddy. The all important hand grip was missing. I accepted another refund and plan to shop locally.
It’s no big deal. Oh, and I solved a different niggling little nuisance regarding hummingbird feeders. It’s easy to lose track of when they were refilled, resulting in mildew. Ugh… This spring it occurred to me that filling each with a small amount forces me to change out the solution virtually every day.
Not only is cleaning less a chore, it also reduces wasted sugar. I call that a win/win. Now I only hope consistent high winds relent and temperatures rise a bit.
Are you experiencing unseasonable weather? If so, what type?

I went to an Ace Hardware to replace a hummingbird feeder I inadvertently broke. They had these glass ones that were made to look vintage. So very cute. (We're having a heat wave. I wouldn't call it unseasonable.)
ReplyDeleteI wish those pretty feeders weren't so pricey. lol Stay cool, my dear.
DeleteIt's summer here. Yesterday it was 95 degrees and today is very warm too. Summer is here.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got the refunds without a lot of hassle. Some places makes it very difficult to do business.
Have a fabulous day and rest of the week. Hugs. ♥
:D
DeleteMowing in a winter coat is something I wouldn't do LOL! It's been way hot here. We rarely even see any hummers around our place.
ReplyDeleteAnd to think I'm envious of folks who see multiple hummingbird species. ~shakes head~ As for cutting grass, it's a chore I hate and despise even more when it's hot and sunny. lol Be well!
DeleteOnly 45 degrees here today, but I love it. Good idea with the hummingbird feeders. My hubby tends to ours and cleans it twice a week, but when it starts to get really hot, he will do it more often. I always wonder how many die because many people don't clean them that often. I hope your husband is doing better. XO
ReplyDeleteHugs, my dear, and thanks for the well wishes.
DeleteWind always makes hot or cold weather seem worse. It is very dry here, with barely a drop of rain for many many weeks. Meanwhile the state to our north has received flooding rains.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that wind there makes heat feel worse. The world is a very interesting place but I'm sad it's often harsh. Best wishes to those suffering drought or floods.
DeleteThat's a good idea about partially filling them. I can't even mow the lawn its been so wet and my mower is electric. At first the weather was to be dry and hot this weekend, now they're taking that back and say it could rain Sunday and MOnday. So far, our weather is still like March, or even late Feb. I've ordered a couple things that didn't work from amazon and now am wondering why I don't get off my butt and try local stores.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words and best wishes, my dear.
DeleteHere in Michigan, it's been cooler than usual for this time of year, and plenty of rain.
ReplyDeleteWhich means I haven't switched my closet over from cold-weather clothes to warm yet.
Your kind comment reminds me of a scene in which, during an Addams Family movie, Morticia reads tags off closeted bundles: "Uncle Nicknack's summer wardrobe. Uncle Nicknack's winter wardrobe. Uncle Nicknack." LOL Be well, my dear.
