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.
.
.
😊
.
.
Don’t get excited, I’m not talking about me. That ship has sailed.
And burst into flames and sunk.
I’m talking about woodchucks, and from the look of our resident Momma…
.
.
I’d say baby chuck sightings are getting close.
.
.
😊
.
.
It’s taken a few days of sniffing and tentative exploring but I think Lord Dudley Mountcatten has finally accepted the new furniture.
.
.
Cats are not fond of change, much like my husband… which is why our new furniture looks a lot like our old…. but I think they’re both coming around.
.
.
He doesn’t look stressed here.
.
.
And before long he was assuming his favorite position with his favorite person.
.
.
Please note that’s not me.
.
.
The last picture?
Proof positive he’s accepted the new ottoman.
🤣
.
.
A few weeks ago we had two young woodchucks fighting over food
.
.
Now?
.
.
Momma chuck is back and the fighting is over.
.
.
Matter of fact, since she’s arrived there’s no one to left to fight.
.
.
The teenagers have left the building…
.
.
And momma reigns supreme.
.
.
Excuse the noise of my dryer tumbling in the background.
.
.
Now that the weather is warming and the grass is turning green…
.
.
Our resident woodchucks are showing up more often.
.
.
There’s not much for them to eat yet and since I want them to leave my garden beds alone?
.
.
The buffet is being laid.
.
.
😉
.
.
It’s hard to tell, but I think Momma Chuck is back.
.
.
I’ve seen two smaller guys around the property the past few weeks, but Momma’s always had a different look.
.
.
And I think this is her.
.
.
If we see babies under the barn next month I’ll know for sure.
.
.
😊
.
.
We’ve had nothing but rain and gloomy skies for weeks… so when the sun finally put in an appearance?
.
.
We were rewarded.
.
.
This was a strange rainbow as it was quite low on the horizon…
.
.
But it certainly didn’t dim the beauty.
And since I was standing at the open back door to take pictures, I asked the husband to keep watch over His Lordship so he didn’t slip past me to freedom.
.
.
You can guess how that went.
.
.
Though it did provide me with a nice photo of my two favorite men under a rainbow.
❤️
.
.
Our empty space was filled yesterday.
.
.
And the arrival of our new dining room set was a definite hit with the furry four legged family member.
.
.
He sniffed, he circled, he explored….
.
.
Sometimes a little too much.
It seems like every time I left the room, this happened…
.
.
Which is odd because His Lordship is very well trained not to jump on tables and countertops.
Until now apparently.
.
.
Oh…
That can’t be good.
🥴
Better pics later.
.
.
The snow is gone, the grass is starting to green and with the promise of spring…
.
.
Fox.
.
.
Two foxes to be exact. Though they do tend to blend into the background this time of year.
.
.
One under the bird feeders…
.
.
And one hanging out in the back forty.
.
.
We had a mated pair last year which makes me wonder if they’ve returned or thus is a new couple.
💕
