Critters at the mouse-house.

If I was a bird I'd eat at the mouse-house. Easy dining and always something new to discover.
Of course, the chickadees were first to the new feeder. I adore those little birds.


"Oh, I see you." He's never far behind the birds.
This black squirrel is one of two that were born in our maple tree this spring. He and his sibling were eventually kicked out of the nest by mommy dearest and just moved over to another tree. So, they seem to be staying and hang out together much of the day. 
They are pretty cheeky devils.

While I was at the back pulling more vines off the perennials (grrr) my free-range wild turkeys strolled by. They seem to like our little lot and are spotted here most days now. They aren't any trouble, keep to themselves and are quite entertaining to watch. I keep my distance, though.



Audrey finds me delightful sometimes. :)
                                                 "I do?"
And I swear she has not been in the nip.

I love this little spot I have created. It is a haven for many tiny creatures. Everyday I have a visit from chipmunks, squirrels, the odd bunny (aren't they all?) along with toads, butterflies and bees.


hugs, Deb
