Odd Sighting:
I had been woundering why a rippening tomatoe would disappear from my garden before I was ready to pick it. Today I know what has been happening, I saw a Squirrle carrying a 2" ripe tomatoe out of the garden, He jumped from the garden fence to a low hanging tree limb, Dropped the tomatoe in the process and then jumped back to the ground to retrive the tomatoe and the proceeded to climb the tree trunk with the tomatoe. Mystery solved!

On April 30th, the Humming Birds will be back, so be sure to put your feeder up. A mixture of 3 parts water and 1 part sugar works fine. Later you can cut it back to 4 to 1 mixture. Red dye is not needed.
