The Wait


Fill it up . . . and they will come
So, I boiled the sugar in water,
let the liquid cool,
gently filled it up
and hung it back on the hook

And I patiently waited . . .
and waited . . .
and waited . . .

As the sun began to set, and my excitement began to wane
I reminded myself  . . .
I Filled it up . . . and they will come

  1. It may take some time...but they will probably come. I have had to wait a couple of weeks at times. Once they know you have a feeder they will continue to check it out.

  6. It is so hard to be patient when you are waiting with sugar water. Hopefully you will be able to catch them at the feeder to continue this story.
