I was enjoying sitting outside with a cup of coffee in the backyard this morning. Beautiful sunny day, temps approaching 80, and a lot of birds to watch at the feeder.
Then this young squirrel decided to join the birds in the yard. He hopped around for quite a while, and was still there when I went in. In the foreground is the Black Cherry sapling that we got from the DNR giveaway trees program. We are fortunate to have a nice yard where we can watch the wildlife and have space for gardening.
Remember to keep doing the things that keep you safe!

We have brown ground squirrels. The only critter the cats haven’t brought into the house.

Years ago I had a barn cat who loved to bring “offerings” to the back stoop. Usually entrails, my vet said it was Joey’s way of sharing the best part of the kill with me.

That’s what they do. Our current cats rarely hurt the critters. Sliver carries bunnies and gophers into the house like a mama cat carries her kittens. Then I have to chase them all over the house to put them back outside.

Oh that is hilarious. I bet Silver has a look of “See what I did? Aren’t you proud of me?” when the critter contributions are made.
