I heard some Hellacious (Yes, that’s a word. At least in Maine.) chattering the other afternoon.
Looked out back…
And saw momma red squirrel perched on the plant hanger.
She was flicking her tail and screeching like a Hollywood starlet who ran out of Botox.
She screeched so hard a seed fell out of her mouth.
It only took me a minute to figure out why.
The other visitor.
No worries readers, momma escaped unharmed.
River's world..... 
She probably scared the wolf off!!

No wolf, just a fox.

I’m sure she screeched to warn her young ones about Mr. Fox, who was probably looking for that canned cocktail all the critters are talking about, lol.

I’m hoping her young ones are now too far away to hear her.

River, I love all of the animal drama that goes on outside your house! We get a lot of animal drama inside our house (2 dogs, 4 cats.) There’s always someone needing attention or who’s in a snit. Fun. Drama queens one and all. Mona

I’m not too much for blogging, just very sparingly and more of a reader/commentor. I know a few from there are here as well. Maybe one day, I’ll actually join.

So glad this had a happy ending, I was about to write a stern letter to wordpress. By the way, I’ve never seen a coat like that on a fox before! Is that normal in your part of the world?

Yes, that’s a normal coat color.

I always know when a cat is prowling around my house because the squirrel alarm will go off so loud I can hear it inside the house with a fan running. As much as I love squirrels, it’s so hard to choose sides here, because that fox is so damn cute…
