    Spotted a fox on the nightvision camera last night. Can't figure out how to post the video here.

    'Unless a law-abiding individual has a firearm for his or her own defense, the police typically arrive after it is too late. With rigor mortis setting in, they mark and bag the evidence, interview bystanders, and draw a chalk outline on the ground' - Judge Benitez , 2019, Duncan v. Becerra.

    'One of the ordinary modes by which Tyrants accomplish their purpose without resistance is by disarming the people and making it an offense to keep arms.' Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, 1840.

    Thanks, ChickNorris.

    About 5 years ago I removed several hundred trees to install a new septic tank and leach field. We replanted in low grass and native flowers for hummingbirds. It's gotten better and this year it really was awesome. The hummers are active on the penstemons, agastache and many others. The red flower in the photo of the buck deer is Penstemon barbatus, a perpetual nectar machine. Not a minute goes by without the birds using and fighting over the flowers. Here's some pics from 2017 and 2019:

    While not native to north America my favorite to plant for the nectar lovers is Nicotiana Sylvestris.

    Separately it's very showy in the landscape.

    I've just one bird that decided to live in my yard this year, though I heard someone new fly through yesterday. :-)

    Do you only grow it in the greenhouse? I know that people in the south plant Nicotiana or flowering tobacco for hummingbirds, and I've see it used around Phoenix and south Texas.

    No. In the yard only.

    Its considered an annual here in Colorado, however I have many varieties of plants (including these) that are several years old, die back to the ground & overwinter under peat. Im pretty fortunate to have some decent microclimates on my properties & I've nicknamed these areas my tri-annual beds.

    They will overseed as well & grow quickly. If you want to try them I'll send you some seeds from my plants which have proven to be rather hardy.

    Sure, I'd like that. How about a seed exchange? I have extra Rocky Mountain Penstemon, Palmer Penstemon, and Rocky Mountain Bee Plant seeds to share. I'll text you tomorrow.
