When I got up at 6 am today, I looked outside and saw that the bird feeders were all frosty!
Here it is the middle of May, 2015, and the morning temperature was 28°.
I should know better and not be too surprised, since we had light snow here in Angora, Minnesota, just yesterday.

I heard last week that the hummingbirds were on their way up north, so I put out all my hummingbird feeders.
But maybe that was premature, since there’s frost on those little bird feeders, too.
I’m hoping that this year will again bring a ton of those little cuties to the feeders as I had in 2013.

I had 10 hummingbird feeders posted all around the house, and brother, was that ever a lot of upkeep. I was filling them up every day.
There were so many that year, when I was sitting out on the deck, I had to be careful I was not in their line of fire as they dive bombed around me.
I sure did enjoy the red metal bistro table and rocking chairs that I got at Menards. Too bad Menards doesn’t carry that exact deck set anymore.
What a joy it was to sit on the deck and sip my morning coffee.
I’m envious of those folks down South, already boasting about their pretty, blooming flowers.
And up here, we’re covering anything and everything we have planted so the frost doesn’t damage our plants early in the season!
One year, I hung a hummingbird feeder on one side of a heavy-duty double shepherd’s hook and a red flower of some sort on the other side.
The hummers seemed to really enjoy that setup and were very active at those feeders all summer long.

No frost on feeders in Daytona Beach, FL!
Thanks for letting me know that you don’t have frost in Daytona Beach, and that’s a very good thing too, isn’t it Ellen? Wouldn’t want all your lovely flowers or the citrus fruits to get frozen!
