    @TerryV6 Happy belated birthday! My family refers to that kind of day as a “toodle about”. They’re the best. And when my grandmother turned 80, I asked her how old she was in her mind, she replied instantly-16! Admittedly, she was much more of an adult at 16 than I was at 60.

    Yes, April 30th was a good day in history.  I was born in 1952 and in 1945, Hitler ended it.  Win win....

    Happy Belated Birthday, @TerryV6!  You share my father’s birthday, as he would have been 88 this year.

    That being said, please take the time for a moment of silence to remember those who gave their all to protect & preserve our freedoms.  ;)

    Yes, while we don’t always agree on everything, it’s important to remember That we are all one country.  We need to continue to grow as a people.

    I was part of the color guard at the local cemetery for Memorial Day when I was younger and in Girl Scouts. It was important to do this! My flag is flying, too!

    My nephew married a woman who is part of the military unit that plays for the funerals at Arlington.  I've been at the cemetary a few times and it is always worth a trip back.  There are always folks to find that I've read about.

    Both Liz & my younger brother served in Iraq.  Both are gone, but not forgotten. My family members have been in one service or another from the Civil War to date. I salute when I put up my flag for good reason.

    @ericnliz (and other hummer fans), do you have problems with ants on (and in) your hummingbird feeders? If so, do you do anything to dissuade them? If so, what?

    The little dummies crawl right inside and drown... probably thinking they've gone to a sweet sugary Valhalla!

    @ScottG, two ways. You can get an ant guard that is a small hanging cup that you keep filled with water, and that keeps all but the largest ants out, the ones that crawl across their dead and drowning brothers!  

    Or take a turkey basting brush (I love the silicone ones) and brush olive oil on the feeder. This also keeps larger birds, such as woodpeckers from taking the nectar and chasing the hummers away. 

    Some say vaseline will also keep the ants away, but it’s more comical to use on a tall pole with a bird feeder so the squirrels can’t climb the pole.

    @ScottG, Ant guards work about the best. Liz had bought some & I just found them the other day! ;)

    Thanks V and E--it looks like ant guards (a.k.a. moats?) is the way to go. I did replace my hangers with fishing line--that seems to have confounded them a bit but some are still getting by.

    Hey Eric, when you talk to your Liz tonight please put in a good word for me and ask her if she might drop some of 'dem guards off at my place as well.  ;-)

    I used to put the dog's supper bowl in a larger bowl of water as a moat for those stupid imported fire ants while I was in TX (in the 90s).

    Awesome, @ericnliz!  Your son certainly knows you!  Ruger will be so good for you. I like the name, by the way ;)

    I just can’t function without a dog by my side.  Once a month when Sunny is gone for a half a day for grooming, I might as well get shopping done, because the house is too quiet. I only made it 5 days between my last dog and getting Sunny Day—it was too quiet here.
