Hi Rita and everybody-

Since I live close to you, Rita, I thought I might pass this on. You might be able to try something similar.

We have a hummingbird feeder on the deck in back--never had any visitors this year.   Having just got back from the UK, I was trying to do something to combat the drought we must have had for weeks. I had aimed a hose to spray through a dogwood--to try to perk up the forsythia on the other side --in the front yard this morning. While Jan and I were talking in the kitchen she noticed a humminbird (female ruby-throated) sitting on a branch of the dogwood--flexing her wings and revelling in the impromptu shower. Just glorious.
