OK. I got my Hummingbird Feeders up and welcome to PA syrup done and in the feeders. Rumor has it (see previous skeet) that they are being seen just south and west of us! It's still a little cold here (40°) but set to go up to 57° tomorrow!

Howdy peeps. I thought I'd just check in. Today is rainy here so I'm putting my feet up for a while. Here's my official happy hour beverage, a Mike's Manhattan: burbon, sweet vermouth, and cherry garnish. It's an inverse Manhattan because the normal ratio of 4:1 Burbon:Vermouth is inverted to 1:4!
