It's easy to see why the knot was so often used as an adornment. The form has a quiet elegance about it. It's made of one continuous circuit, so it's pleasant to stare at with wonder. Given the perpetual cycles of life and change which surround us, the Endless Knot is at least as useful as a reminding metaphor as it is a wall-hanging.

    • @pocket83squared
      @pocket83squared Месяц назад

      There are a few things you can do. First, try to position it so that it's away from sunlight. Also, if a full bottle has been refrigerated, allow it to come to room temperature before hanging it. Remember, it will drip whenever it heats up quickly. You can also limit drips by reducing its movement/sway. For example, hang it with a shorter, or heavier, or more rigid, chain. If you absolutely can't stand any drips, and you can't position it over grass, then you can try using something to catch drips, like a plate of water. A handful of sand on the patio will also absorb the liquid and prevent staining. If ants are a concern, then use a bucket of water. Ants avoid water. With a soy sauce feeder, there shouldn't be _too_ much dripping, but some is normal; wind, bumps from other birds, and even aggressive hummers can cause the feeder to sway or spin. As a general rule, unless your bottle is being visited continuously by hummingbirds, you shouldn't expect to replace the liquid more than once every day or two. If you are, then the bottle cap should probably be replaced. A functional but un-visited bottle will empty itself after perhaps 1.5-2 weeks. I know this because we put one out in late April, even though most birds don't arrive until around May first (In sw central PA.). Also note that I consider the small amount of dripping a good thing, because it allows a feeder to empty itself completely rather than become toxic (in case you forget). Think of it as bad-handler insurance.
