Hummingbird wars...

This little fellow (I guess it's a fellow!) has been hogging the hummingbird feeder. He sits guard on a nearby sunflower and when other hummers come along he attacks and drives them off. He was doing this this morning and was still at it when I came home from work!  See him silhouetted against the sky?

 Here he was craning his neck to get a better look at me. You can see his ruby throat. There's a lot of dive-bombing and chattering going on. He's still doing this as I type. Little rascal!

 

This woodpecker card is for a Make Me Happy swap. I mailed it out this afternoon.

 

We also have a monthly RAK (Random Act of Kindness) that we do at my ATC website. Each month someone is nominated who could use some encouragement and support. One gal lost her husband a month or so back, so we sign up to send her a "care" package. This is a bookmark I made, along with some other things I thought she might like; art materials and such along with a note. I think about 30 people signed up, so she will get quite an avalanche of mail. It's a nice thing to be able to take part in. 

 

 This llama was for another Make Me Happy swap. In these we send a card to just one person.

 Look what just came in the mail! MK, do you suggest reading the books in order, or can they be read in any order?

 I tried to capture the sunrise. Too bad about the power lines. Oh well, it was amazingly orange!

Almost forgot! Here's my harvest so far. Well, I did have one earlier. A lot of my tomatoes had blossom end rot, but it looks like I'll get a few good ones before cold weather sets in. That's all I really wanted. Just a few fresh tomato sandwiches and some to slice and douse with Ranch dressing!

I have a hankering for a sloppy joe, so I think I'll make some!

 Thanks for dropping by!

Shalom to all.
