“Good golly, Uncle Tree! This red stuff is the bomb!”

Here comes Ruby

Here she comes now making a beeline for the feeder.

No worries, young lady, we won’t let the well go dry.

“Can you see me now, Uncle Tree? I’m chiming in.”

Careful now, Ruby. You can only drink so much in one setting.

10 seconds tops. I got this hankering.

Sit still and take pictures.

Make me famous.

Love you!
