That would bring a smile!

We have several hummingbird feeders in the yard, and several types of
hummingbirds visit often. Sometime during the past summer, someone put a
hummingbird feeder near out outdoor break area at my office. I love to
watch them. I think they like visiting there because the area is
surrounded by trees and we also have a really good misting system, so it’s
a bit cooler in the blistering summer heat. Aside from the feeder, the
also have a number of flowering bushes that they seem to like.
