In reply to Jan.

Thank you very much Jan. Things are going well for us. Mr. John is just tracking right along. Always nice to visit him and see that he is well.
I am also doing well.
It is sad that this web blog just is not going to be able to keep going.
The daughter, Beth & Donna are just to busy to keep it up.
I just don’t feel right by me trying to keep it going. I have not been sent a blog in months as you well noticed.
I was always excited to get a new blog to work on from one of the girls but that has stopped and I just don’t see that there will be any new post to post.
I am not sure how long the blog is paid up to with the web master but I will asure you that any new blog post I get will be posted as soon as I can it.
Thank you for your support of Mrs. Billie Crumly and this blog. I miss that lady more everyday.
God bless you and I hope all is well with you also.

I’m really hoping all is well with everyone! It has been a very long time since the last post.

I lived there a few years ago, and was delighted when I discovered Mrs. Crumly’s blog…only a few months before her death.

I was so saddened when that happened, feeling as though I had lost a dear friend.

I hope that you will continue to post as often as possible.

My warmest regards to you, Mr. John, and to Russ.

We have had the same experience at our feeders (Crossville area). I have two feeders and the food is going down pretty fast now although, I have seen only a couple at one time. Emily, give me a call. Paula

Beautiful photos. Your encouragement worked. I was late putting out our feeders this year. As soon as they were up the hummers arrived. I was so surprised they found the feeders so quick.

My first hummers, a couple of males, arrived on March 27 and fed furiously for two weeks before at least one and perhaps two females showed up. About the first of May there began to be no hummers at the feeders (I have 6). Then last week again I began to see at least 3 females and at least 2 males. One of the females has white feathers above her eyes which I’ve never seen before.

I put out my feeder after your first article. The level went down but I never did see any hummers. Then our friendly neighborhood raccoon wrenched the top off the feeder ( it isn’t supposed to come off) and broke it so I had to go get another. I have only seen one bird so far come to the new feeder, but I may just not be looking at the right time.

All of ours have been gone until two days ago. We think we have two back now. No one in our area, Geraldine, has had any for weeks.
This is truly a odd season for the hummers this year.
