.....by the creek in the neighborhood.

I've been watching this tree since I first noticed the activity on it just after Christmas. Then, no activity during our 3 or 4 rounds of the Polar Vortex, or whatever it is that we call winter these days. And now, they're busy again. Bigger tree than I normally see them tackle in our woods. But I feel OK, because I'm not the only one watching the tree - Woody is on the case.

Since all these critters are so busy, I decided on a lazy, easy, simple skirt steak taco dinner. Skirt steak marinated in vinegar and lime juice, and salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Paired with peppers, onion, japs.

Beef on the grill for 4 or 5 minutes a side.

Then the peppers and onion while the beef rests.

All done and inside.

And then in tortillas with cheese, sour cream, salsa. No plated pics since the youngest daughter and her friends dug in pretty fast.

As you see, very simple. There are enough busy critters around here without me joining in.
Hope you had a good weekend.
