On The Wings Of The 4th Of July
The upcoming celebration of Independence Day is really playing havoc with my schedule. We are expecting guests tomorrow so today was a hectic day of preparation. And yesterday was just as hectic gathering all the goodies that were prepared today.
We entertain fairly often, but not as much in the summer months as other times of year. So, that means I had to tackle the outdoors as well the inside.
The hanging bird bath needed a good cleaning, as did my concrete bird bath. Since I do that several times a week in the summer, it wasn’t all that big of a deal until I dicovered that as a result of the recent heavy rains, a couple of my tube feeders were clogged with some moist food. Moist food can become rancid quickly in the warm summer months, so those tube feeders had to be cleaned out and totally dry before I could refill them.
When you get to know me better you will begin to understand, that entertaining means making sure there is no room for error, and not a thing out of place . I made fresh nectar for the Hummingbird feeders and cleaned and filled them with the fresh clear sweet nectar. Oh yes, I also put fresh suet cakes in the suet feeders.
There’s more to be done tomorrow, but for now my feathered friends are well taken care of, and my guests will undoubtedly be entertained when they come to visit the bird feeders.
