I am always shocked and saddened when I find out that folks are using the wrong recipe. And, please mention that FOOD COLORING IS NOT NECESSARY. Some scientists believe that the coloring is bad for kidneys. To first entice hummers just tie some red ribbon on the feeder if it isn't already red.<br /><br />Stephanie Roth Sisson, you are such a FABULOUS illustrator. Right up there with Melissa Sweet. I could never do what you do and I truly appreciate your words of encouragement.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />SSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-38174640777738924932012-02-29T11:26:27.649-08:002012-02-29T11:26:27.649-08:00Wow...glad to see you here again.
