No Hummingbirds in our climate but got the others fed along with fresh suet and a heated birdbath.

The hanging feeder to the left drives the squirrels nuts. :ROFLMAO:

I prefer to call them strike indicators.

Lol - yeah, my daughter home from Cal Poly SLO is wistfully eyeballing the 73° Xmas forecast!
We were sitting outside tending the grandkids - warm and sunny. Kind of what SoCal advertises? Pretty nice. I just looked at WU forecast for Ephrata, 5F with -4F tonight. I could get used to this …..

I'm not pleased about it, but I gotta' let the fire in my fireplace die out. The ashes were getting too full in there yesterday, and I couldn't get a house temperature above 67*. (Ours is a heating fireplace with a fan.) When the roads thaw enough to drive safely, I need to go to the store for a metal bucket for ashes. I realized that all I have around here is plastic buckets. I've never had to clean out fireplace ashes before while I also wanted a fire at the same time.

If you won't get chastised for misusing your kitchenware, you could use a big metal pot or glass mixing bowl. Best not to let your wife see, though.

Mrs. Salmo reminded me, it turns out, that we do have a copper bucket for just this purpose that I'd forgotten all about. Color me senile I guess. It's the bucket on the deck that I keep a bag of alder chips in for when I BBQ fish. Couldn't see the forest for the trees apparently. Anyway, I shoveled out a bunch of ashes, and got the fire going again, so we're gonna' be all warm and cozy as I burn through my firewood.
