Lime Chicken is made---portioned out--just want to make some kind of
sweet and sour concoction of veggies to go with it. Already made the Spanish Rice...
I want the veggies to be: lg, pcs. of red peppers, onion, some Ginger, and pineapple
chunks. Would green beans go with this too? My instinct is no. A bit of broccoli?
What else? Help me out....Otherwise--I am winging it!

Hung a suet cake on the trunk of my maple tree, below the one already hanging there..
There I was--outside--with my big electric drill and a suet cake in a plastic netting bag.
Drilled a hole for driving a perch into--just below the suets. The birds have been a bit
frustrated--with nowhere to land on.

The Black Birds have found my house! Bummer...talk about ravenous critters...

On the sad part--this morning, as I looked out the window, there was a dead Dove.
The other doves came and went to check it out...it was so sad--like a funeral...
Next time I looked out the window--there was a Hawk right next to the body--
stupid me--turned around to get my camera--but the dove was gone with its meal.
At least--I am glad some good came from this poor Dove dying--food for the hawk.
