Everyone else ( wimps like me for sure) has moved here to the Island it seems. Getting crowded! It is still tough though--last week it stayed just below freezing and you have to keep rotating the hummingbird feeder when it freezes. They are managing somehow.

Next week we should be back to normal and see some new flowers and be able to go RVing again up-Island :)

I went from edmonton, to the island for 20 years and settles in Kamloops. I never could get used to the dreary overcast drizzly depressing days in the winter there. so I gave that up and cancled my plans to move back to the deep frees caled alberta and settled for whet I think is a nice compromize. sunny, hot as He!! in the sumer, almost no rain all year, mild in the winter (only 8 degrees colder than victoria on average but with out the humidity) and to tell you the truth, I shoveled more snow in langford than I have here, except for a couple weird years haha..

you didn't wrap christmas lights around the feeder like I have seen a bunch doing?
