Poor Momma Chuck has her hands paws full with five babies.
.
.
Teaching them to be self sufficient and take advantage of the daily buffet we lay out is exhausting.
.
.
More often than not she beats them to it and gobbles everything up before they wander over.
.
.
Momma needs nourishment and strength.
.
.
As well as a decent support bra.
.
.
What does she think of the local paparazzi?
.
.
This.
🤣
.
.
Momma Chuck is bringing her young ones out from under the barn on daily foraging trips.
.
.
So naturally I sit on the barn porch and entice them with apple chunks.
.
.
One brave little fella gets closer than the rest.
.
.
He’s so sweet!
.
.
Yes, they’re flower munching machines…
.
.
But they’re also too cute to stay angry at for long.
💕

My first baby chucker count was off by two. There are five baby chuckers and my flower gardens are doomed.
.
.
I try to make friends by sitting on the barn porch and giving them apples.
.
.
I do this so they’ll leave my carefully tended blooms alone.
Sometimes it works, other times I’m left with a bed of bare twigs.
.
.
It seems there’s always one brave little fella in every litter… the one who edges closer and checks me out more thoroughly.
.
.
Yes, they munch my flowers.
.
.
But damn, they’re cute.
❤️
.
.
I found a few more of these adorable drawings..
.
.
So you know I have to share.
.
.
These dogs have the most beautifully expressive faces.
.
.
I just melt.
.
.
And smile…
.

The husband and I planted three flowering cherry trees last year.
.
.
Two of them were eaten and absolutely destroyed by deer over the winter.
.
.
This one, planted closer to our house survived… even if it is looking a little spindly.
.
.
🥴
.
.
We had our first baby woodchuck sighting of the season the other day.
.
.
Momma gives birth under the Man Cave/Barn Mahal every year and this summer it looks like three.
.
.
They really are adorable.
.
.
Scampering around trying to convince mom to share her apples.
,
.
I know my flower gardens will suffer.
.
.
But damn, they’re cute.
.
.
😊
.
.
Why eat standing up…
.
.
When lying down works just as well.
.
.
😊
.
.
.
Our resident fox is a beauty.
.
.
Healthy, bright eyed and judging from this photo?
.
.
Possibly a momma.
.
.
Who likes to lie down while eating.
.
.
😊
.
I fear I may have tripped a disturbing algorithm by clicking on those pole dancing mice a while back.
.
.
Now I’ve got a squirrel working the room for tips .
🥴
.
.
Be still my heart.
I don’t have all the ingredients yet so if you beat me to it, let me know how they turn out.
.
.
Required momma woodchuck photo.
.
.
This decanter is wrong in so many ways I don’t know where to start…
.
.
Pickle soup? Equally as wrong…
🤢
.
.
Our beautiful fox shows up every day at dusk.
.
.
We think she has a den in our back woods.
.
.
And though I put special food out for her, every once in a while she steals the bread I put out for the birds.
.
.
Because everyone needs to carb load now and then.
.
.
