HUGE shout out to Catherine Taylor of Milkin' Mama's Soap! Several of us put together an order of assorted soaps, candles, beard oil, bath bombs, sugar scrub and more. Look at how it was packed! So much attention to detail down to the personalized label and PINK bubble wrap. Thank you! It's always a pleasure doing business with you.
Just a heads up...some businesses are closed today for Apple Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival®
Liberty on 522
Most people know about the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, DC but unless you are from the Wi******er area, you might not know about Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival®. Lots going on in the area including 2 parades. Check it out at www.thebloom.com. FYI...Wi******er has long been known as the “Apple Capital” as it is surrounded by vast orchards and constituting one of the largest apple export markets of the nation and the largest producing area in Virginia.
Located in Wi******er, VA the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival includes over 40 springtime events! Fun for the whole family!
Don't wait to book with Binx!
Another great website for hummingbird facts!
"Hummers" will remember and return to your feeder year after year.
Hummingbirds are starting to arrive in the northeast US. Follow them and report sightings here. Remember to change sugar water twice a week, use only sugar and water 1:4 ratio, hang feeders near flowers and foliage.

Highly recommend these from Aldi! Ravioli flavor is good but not overpowering.

Return to Pensacola
Small but speedy. Tiny but aggressive. Little bodies, big appetites. Hummingbirds are a study in extremes. They are the lightest North American birds. Most weigh less than two pennies at 3 to 4 grams. They have the fastest wings and heartbeats, the most efficient metabolisms, and the most minuscule eggs. The list could go on. Watching these tiny marvels at a feeder, it’s hard not to wonder how hummingbirds zip around so quickly or keep their feathers so brilliant. Hummingbirds are tough survivalists. Many of the actions that help them persevere also make them fun to watch.
For the first time in my life, we have hummingbirds (thanks to our move to Virginia)! A few things I learned: Hummingbirds migrate as far north as Canada to return to their birthplace. Most of the ones in our area are Ruby-Throated. Like cardinals, the males are much more colorful than the females. Males arrive in VA first, usually in mid-April and females and youngsters arrive by May. Males will start their return flight south very soon. Another link or two will be in the comments. https://www.hummingbirdcentral.com/index.htm
