We had 4 hummingbirds fighting over our feeder this morning.  It was a little foggy outside, and this was taken through the window.  I love watching the hummers though!  We’ve had as many as 14 at one time.  I mix our own nectar – 1/4 cup white sugar to 1 cup of warm water.  Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Guess what was on sale recently?      I pressure canned several pints of baby carrots and also quarts of chicken breast (it was $1/lb at our local grocery store).  I froze some of the chicken breast after cooking/chopping and separating into ziploc freezer bags.  It makes quick meals so much easier if the chicken is ready to go.  This will be used for chicken spaghetti, chicken & dumplings, mexican chicken, and lots of other dishes!

Beautiful fall foliage in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas, November 2006.

This picture is from a couple of years ago, but it’s one of my favorites. Taken in the Ouachita (prounounced Wah-shuh-tah) Mountains of Arkansas.
