[Magdalen] Hummingbird delight

[Jay Weigel]

When I lived in Tennessee I would plant pineapple sage in my garden, mostly
because the leaves smelled good and made a wonderful jelly (better than
mint with lamb). I found that hummingbirds loved the blossoms, which bloom
in early fall. I used to tease my neighbor that I did it just to steal them
from her feeders.
