Vey cold January

Thanks for sharing your news Klahanie - love the pics of your Humming Birds how beautiful and well done in keeping your feeders going - must be time consuming but well worth it to have such colour passing through your garden - Jane

thanks for the timely reminder to add fresh water to the frozen trays.

nowhere near as cold as you at -3 but still chilly enough. The camellias never seem to mind the very cold do they. Super shrubs.

I'm glad your weather is becoming less cold Klahanie, it will be better for you, your plants and the humming birds.

By the way, I am in Wales :)

Oh my word! You really did get some cold. It must have been a shock. I must say, I thought the homeless of V had moved in when I saw the tent! lol! Glad things are returning to normal…poor humming birds!

I'm sure the hummers appreciate your care, Klahanie. It's not much fun running in and out in that sort of cold but your photos illustrate the reward from your efforts.
Glad to know the shrubs have done ok despite the low temperatures.
That puzzle looks a fiend. There must have been a great sense of satisfaction once completed.

Lucky hummingbirds to be in your care Klahanie!

Your jigsaw picture is very attractive 🙂.

You did very well indeed to keep all those humming birds going! I wouldn't have imagined they could stand such cold! You'll get a new generation this summer to enjoy!

We once, many winters ago, when we lived in Spain, had minus 14C one winter when some friends visited us. They had a motor caravan & the extreme cold froze the doors shut so they couldn't get out for a couple of hours! 😆

We have never experienced such low temps as that night! Though we came close during the winter of 2009/10 here in the UK when we had one of those "once-in-a-lifetime" (I've lived through 3 of them in spite of having only one life! 😆) winters! Temps got down to -10C several times during a week - perhaps even lower!

Thanks Klahanie :)
Although the temperature is below normal here I am hoping we are too far south and west to get the worst of the weather. We seldome get snow if it comes from the north or east, although some might settle on the highest hills.

Hoping it will become milder for us all soon.

I suspect we will Meadowland ...
We'll probably get all the rain when it comes off the Atlantic next wek :D

Lucky humming birds having you to look after them!
That is very cold and glad your temperature is rising a bit now.
1 degrees here and for some reason all my birds, blue tits gold finches and sparrows plus one blackbird haven't been seen for days! Very strange!
Your jigsaw was amazing. You must have a lot of patience Klahanie!

Love your photos of the hummers & your jigsaw . I can guess just how difficult it was. I’ve never done one of 2000 pieces, ( takes us too much space)! My neighbour feeds the birds regularly & has positioned the feeders so I can see them from where I sit. I make sure they have water, I position tea lights under the water dish as someone on GOY
suggested, I have to put hot water on first tho, to thaw the frozen mass. They use it a lot, my cat too, so have to keep refilling. Going to be another frosty one tonight, but I like the sun & frost as I can go out for a nice walk, no mud until it thaws. Thank you for your blog.

No more frosty nights - for a week or two! But lots more wind & rain!
