Last winter was warmer here in southern Oregon than the year before. We always prepare for winter wherever we live. We put up food and make sure the house is winterized. We also prepare for summers (in Texas they can be brutal) because they can cause plenty of havoc too. Some of our hummers are gone, some are still here and will be since they are year round residents. We feed them during the winter. Sometimes I wake up real early and they are waiting for me to hang the tepid water for them. Too funny.
