November 17...don't know if I've seen a hummingbird this late...but one's been here two days now. Put my feeder back up yesterday and I know it knows it's there, because today I saw it hovering around it. Cold today, forecast high only 60°. Hope it's one of the more cold tolerant kinds...and hope it gets enough to eat to make it further south. I still have a few Flame Acanthus and Turk's Cap blooming, a few salvias, in spite of our mild freeze recently.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
