*love*

First poppy to bloom at the mouse-house.

We love the colour. :)

This is one hot day; over +30C and so humid that you, too, will have a bad hair day.


My poor garden needed some tending to so I headed out very early to tidy things up. 
I knew by noon you would not be able to breathe out there.


After filling the feeders, I went back to watering for awhile waiting to see what would show up for breakfast.
Boy, it was worth the wait.
A little baby squirrel 
showed up for some seeds and a swing in the platform feeder.
This cutie was obviously having a fun time.





You're right...I'm in love.

hug, Deb

  7. Everything looks lovely Deb...All neat
    and tidy...And, all growing up well...!

    The baby squirrel looks a character..But,
    then, don't they all, funny little things.
    Did you know...
    Interesting red squirrel facts:They have
    four fingers and five toes.
    They can be right or left-handed when eating
    a pine cone.
    They can swim.
    Reds’ coats moult twice a year, once after
    winter and then in the late summer before
    the weather gets colder.
    They moult their ear tufts once a year, in
    late autumn....
    So there's a perfect name for one....Tufty! :).

  10. Oh I do like that poppy colour. Does your husband remember the seed colour name? It seems we have only one surviving baby red, whom we have named Lucille as her mom was Lucy.

    1. Unfortunately, the seed came in a pack of mix but send me your address and I will send you seeds from this plant in the fall.

  13. Wonderful photos . Looks like your gardens are still doing well as are all your birds and critters that's awesome . It was hot and humid here but after the storm we got last night it brought some cooler less humid air and winds off of the lake I was able to turn the AC off and open up my windows to air the house out ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
