My poor birds missed me being out at the property for a few days so I filled the feeders again today.
It didn't take long for the Chickadees to show up and...
this little guy.
"Awwwwwwwwwww"
This is a very young squirrel who now will most likely become a regular around here.
He was nice and pudgy and looked like a 'junior'.
He hung around all afternoon. I think he's got my number. :)
I'm standing in my kitchen corner.
It's big enough for a few cupboards, shelves, one sink, a small fridge and stove.
Here's what you see from the window.The first load of gravel arrived as I took this photo. Then he got to work spreading the gravel on what will become a drive-way in the Spring. Just look at the mud out here. Before we started this little project it was all grass. We'll be a long time landscaping.
That beautiful 'potty' is in every photo. *grin*
Audrey is resting at the moment. I told her today that we are moving into a mouse-house. She almost fainted. Once she pulls herself together I'll explain to her that it is not actually full of mice.
At least....I hope not.
"Grab me a cold cloth will you, deary."
Stay toasty,
Deb
Audrey is a very pretty girl! Where is your 'mouse house'? Looks pretty secluded.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue - it is in the country but we have neighbours on both sides. There is a development across and down the road a bit. We can't see it from our lot, though.
DeleteIt's going to be a lovely little apartment. And how long do you plan on being here? you're building a house there, right?
ReplyDeleteHi Hilary - We are hoping to start building by next summer. Maybe Spring. One winter in there will be enough, believe me.
DeleteFor one horrible moment I thought the potty was permanent!!
