Our scary scarecrow & chippy preferences.


Our whisker-less garden cat got booted out of her spot by a friendly little scarecrow today.

This will surely scare off those pesky crows.

 That's ok, greeter cat, you have the title of 'greeter' for eleven months of the year. :)

See that little red house behind the scarecrow.  That is a squirrel feeder that we built for our resident family during the winter last year.  They pop inside, out of the wind, to eat their seeds and nuts. In -30C they really appreciate it.                                                                 

Someone else likes to use it, too.
That's our little Simone; Simon's lady-friend.

                                             "Hi, Simone."
She loves it in there.
He's not well-mannered when it comes to sharing his food so she eats there and he eats at his front door.

                           *Ding-dong*...delivery service. 

He enjoys his daily apple soooo much.
His preference is Mac's.
And he always takes a big chunk into his den for later.
He probably has enough down there to make a pie.

*nom...nom*

He's starting to fill up his pantry now for winter.
What could it possibly look like down there?
Simon may have a few more hoard areas. :)

He's such a handsome little guy.



"Yes, he does look delicious, doesn't he?"


"AUDREY!"

hugs, Deb

  8. I like Simon. I hope he sleeps well this winter - and Simone, too. Will Simon share his burrow, I wonder?

  14. I love this post! You always make me smile. You and Audrey. That little Simon is adorable. I could just picture his cozy little home under the ground. Glad you showed us the layout.

  16. This is amazing! I never knew those underground bunkers were so intricate! Drainage tunnels and escape routes....who knew! Cute and smart!

  17. I always thought they built up body fat before hibernation but that isn't the case. They rely on their underground stores. I always give them shelled nuts but I guess a bag of unshelled nuts would be a better move.
    Maybe Mr Scarecrow could be moved to a different location and the watch kitty could be dressed in seasonally appropriate attire. Or maybe even kitty and scarecrow keeping company together.
