    I've heard that orioles will sometimes drink at hummingbird feeders. Some birding catalogs sell orange feeders for orioles.

We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature.

I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this...
