Tuesday

The weather has cooled down quite a bit so I decided to make some Cranberry Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting. Ooh, these are yummy. The recipe called for a 15 x 10 baking pan which I don't have so I just subbed in a normal
13 x 9 pan with a small 5 x 5 pan. It worked out well since I can send the larger pan to Hector's work and keep just a small amount for us. :)



I've had a hummingbird feeder for several years now but have never been that successful. Once a year I give it another go but I guess we don't have any flowers in the backyard to attract the hummingbirds.



We have Bird of Paradise plants in the front of the house and sometimes I see hummingbirds buzzing around those, so I put the feeder out front.

Finally after several days, I spot the first bird yesterday afternoon. Yay! Josh was super excited and got his binoculars to see it up close.


Today the same little bird is back and guarding it like it's his own personal feeder. He really is a little bully. I saw him chase away a bigger hummingbird away or he sits in a nearby plant keeping watch.

I might have to get another type of feeder just to see what will happen.
