Hey Audie!! Hummers!!

[audie]

i adore my hummers, wish i had more of them. mom and pop live in the country and i counted 19 down there last weekend - bat turds !!! i changed my feeders sunday a.m. and had 2 birds on one feeder, and a 3rd bird trying to chase the other 2 off - haven't seen that before. mr.audie's mom is supposed to give me a start or two of her trumpet vine which attracts the birds too.

beware the trumpet vine....i have tons of that too. can't get rid of the stuff...it's everywhere!! haven't minded too much though because of the hummers...they do seem to love it.

i'm wanting it to grow all along the privacy fence in back, his mom says that definitely won't be a problem !

oh, no, it won't be a problem. it's actually, kind of pretty, but very agressive...of course the same could be said of a couple of people I know

 

[audie]

i'll take that as a compliment !

I would never say you were agressive. i was thinking more about a couple of people I work with.

hmm, you probably shouldn't talk to the technicians where i work then.... seems people don't like it when you make them do their jobs - why is that ?

it's odd huh? I don't have that problem, cause I'm the only one in my department. glad I don't have people reporting to me--I've got enough issues of my own!

heh
We have trumpet vine at our Denver house, and yes, the hummers liked it, and yes, it is aggressive--we had tendrils of it coming up in our basement!

When I saw this thread title I thought it was about SUVs.;-)

We have bats here at Port St Joe and I am always happy to see them flitting about--dragonflies as well. The mosquitos are not that bad where we are and I like to think it's because of the bats and dragonflies.

These thread titles can be so deceiving sometimes......

Love bats, love dragonflies, trumpet vine.....not so much. I can totally believe it was coming up in your basement. I found it coming through an upstairs window--which was, btw, locked and screened!
