Three weeks fly by in the summer. Busy hands, minds running amuk and hot, humid days are what we experience now.
The gardens are finally getting some rain the last two days so there's one job I can walk away from for awhile.
Our veggie garden is small but happy and I am getting lettuce, cucumbers and herbs from it daily.
Our tomatoes are still green.
The yellow beans are slow coming.
Our critters are busy running about and the retired-guy has taken to feeding three crows that he would like to tame. (What??)
He finds them fascinating but unfortunately they scare off the small birds.
He has had to move their feeding spot far from the feeders.
The turkeys are here every evening to clean up and then they head to the wood-lot to sleep high up in the maples.
Now that I know they are there they won't scare the life out of me at 7am again. :-[
And I love to find a feather for my collection.
Annie and Wilson are good friends now and spend much of their day resting together and trying to stay cool.
Wilson was just at the vet to have his first check-up and her words were..."He's going to be a live-wire. And I give him an A+." She fell for the little guy instantly and he remembered his manners.
A few photos around and about the mouse-house.
be kind, Deb

ReplyDeleteWilson is certainly a handsome cat - so glad he is healthy and now good friends with Annie. As for Simon - he must be really tame by now Deb - can you hand feed him, do you even try? Bet he enjoys his own 'fairy village' - it's adorable!
ReplyDeleteHow's the house coming along? Hard to work in the hot weather I'm sure.
Hugs - Mary
Oh, that Wilson is adorable...he does look rotten. :) I love him already! That last picture is sooo funny". "Losing his stuffing". That's exactly what it looks like. I'm so glad he and Annie have become best friends. A pet crow sounds like fun. Poppy and I have talked about how much fun it would be to have a pet crow. Your posts are wonderful! So glad to see one!
ReplyDelete"Annie and Wilson are good friends now" Best news ever! I always enjoy seeing the activity and life around Fox Grove. Love the fairy village and watching it grow. How is the house coming? I can't wait to see pictures. Love to all!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing us the photos of your piece of Heaven property. Glad the 2 cats are friends and not just roommates. Gail
ReplyDeleteSuch good news about Wilson - and that Annie and he are friends. I wish that had happened with my beasts. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of life on your property; so many little creatures. I'd love to stop by the Fairy Village for tea. I'd probably be enchanted...
Annie and Wilson are such cuties.
ReplyDeleteSo, the retired-guy has found a crow hobby, eh? It's wonderful that Wilson and Annie are fast friends!

ReplyDeleteis there any new family for Simon yet? such a cute bugga that one!
thanx for sharing
Aww Mr Wilson - you are fitting in well buddy. We are glad to hear that you and Miss Annie are good friends.
ReplyDeleteI loved "Wilson is losing his stuffing!" He's a beauty and I'm glad he and Annie have bonded. Simon, turkeys, feathers and birds -- you are in your little bit of heaven!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you posting again. I've missed you.
Wonderful catch up. I am quite smitten with Wilson. His little face is ever so sweet. Glad to hear that Annie has let him into her heart. Crows are quite bright, but our pair; Bert & Ernie make such a racket that I do not really welcome them to my garden. One of the local vets tamed a rescued crow as baby & he became the resident greeter at her clinic.
ReplyDeleteHe's a cutie pie! Love it when the kitties bond together.
ReplyDeleteWe finally saw a chipmonk living around our hay shed. 1st one we've seen in quite a while.
The kitties are so cute together and EVERYTHING is cute at your house!
ReplyDeleteMr A+ is so cute! Visiting as Willie at http://williewine.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteleft me your link!
We hope all of you are enjoying a great summer also. The heat has been really bad some days. Hope your garden is holding up with the weather. Love the photos that you shared. Really great to see the kitties. Have a wonderful week.
