Saw my first hummingbird today...

...in my flowering Toyo Nishiki quince. When those guys are back it really seems like spring.

Haven't seen any of those yet, but tons of robins and bluebirds. And bees buzzing around the spring bulbs. Now, if the weather would only warm up ....

I love this weather! This is my favorite gardening weather. Then again I'm a heat-phobe ;)

I saw some too :)
I wonder if this means we wont get frost anymore? We usually get frost in May but I don't remember seeing the hummers here so early.

In the town of Kent in Putnam. Got buzzed 3 days ago and my wife said she saw one a day earlier.

Frost warning tonight for us. Hope the peach tree survives as we got no peaches from last years very late frost.

Saw my first hummer last week! She's a small young one! She's loving my feeder!
