#FridayHappyReadingHour
We need a better hummingbird book- I have seen 3 varieties at our feeder, but only 1 is identified in the tagged book. Suggestions?
Enjoying Tost Sparkling Wine, thanks to @Amiable while happily reading.

TheBookHippie I haven‘t found a good one either 😵‍💫😭 5d
Aims42 Hmm, if I come across a good one, I‘ll let you know 🤔 In the meantime, enjoy your wine! 🥂 5d
Tamra Happy Friday! Nothing better. 🎉 5d

dabbe @spenmoll @TheBookHippie @Aims42 ... I don't know if you've seen these, but we absolutely LOVE these hummingbird feeders. 1st: easy to clean. 2nd: the birds can actually REST while drinking. 3rd: No need to use the artificial dyed food: just a 1:4 sugar/water ratio. 4th: Our birds LOVE these feeders!

Aims42 @dabbe Oh wow! I‘ve never seen this style of hummingbird feeder, I love your reasons!! Thanks for the link!!! 5d
Amiable Which aisle in Big Y was the Töst? I went looking at the one in Old Lyme the other day but didn‘t find it. I probably walked right past it. 5d
dabbe @Aims42 Yay! Let me know if you like them! 💛🤎🧡 5d
mcctrish I‘m going to get one of this style feeder for my sister for her cottage - Happy Friday 5d
kspenmoll @Amiable I am going tomorrow so I will check. It was on a top shelf- not with soda, next isle. Will let you know. 5d
kspenmoll @dabbe I have one of these but I need a second! I did not even realize about the perch thing. The one I have is in garden. But now I want to replace the kitchen window one that is so active & we all can see them. My garden one I have to be on the porch. I do make my own sugar water, so easy! Thank you!!!! (edited) 5d
dabbe @mcctrish YAY! 💛🤎🧡 5d
dabbe @kspenmoll 💛🤎🧡 5d
janeycanuck Not a book but have you used the Merlin app? It‘s from Cornell and it‘ll identify birds by photo or sound. 3d

Smallest in nature,
but fastest, too — rapidly
humming and flapping.

Obligatory this is not my pic, found online. Would be ecstatic if I ever got this close to a hummingbird!

Andrew65 Love the DCI Banks books. 4mo
kspenmoll @Andrew65 I am trying to read this series in order- sometimes one right after another, sometimes with a break in between. I am having fun with all the music & literary references. 4mo
Andrew65 @kspenmoll Definitely liked his music in those books. (edited) 4mo

My #weekendreads
Listening to The Queens of Crime , which is a delight, while cooking & driving. Diving into Aaaron Elkins‘ novel, began A Summer of Hummingbirds, & trying to catch up with Edna St. Vincent Millay. #audiobookmurdermystery #forensicarcheology #hummingbirds #sundaybuddyread

We Are the Gardeners | Joanna Gaines

Pickpick

3 ⭐ This book is very long. It is the story of the Gaines kids‘ trials and tribulations in building a garden. The lesson is never give up and to try new things. Just because you failed once doesn‘t mean you will only fail. You only fail if you don‘t try. The book is fine. There‘s nothing wrong with it. The illustrations are also fine. But it‘s not one I think would get checked out frequently, especially by people who don‘t recognize the name.
