What a great day to enjoy the outside. It was windy, but wow what a wonderful sunny day with temps in the upper 70’s. Our son has been working the past couple of days straightening up the backyard, getting ready for some gardening and taking care of some weeding.

Squirrel walking past bird bath, note rocks in bowl for birds to perch
Squirrel turned around, jumped on bird bath, cartwheeled off when he hit water. See him on right ready to land, note water flowing from bowl.
Today we sat out back on our swing and did some wildlife watching. We filled both bird feeders, mounted a suet cage, and even put a couple of ears of field corn on trees. All the critters should be happy. Our son also filled one of the bird baths and put a couple of rocks in it for some for the birds to stand on while drinking. See photos above when a squirrel was surprised.

I’m the opposite of your climate so we are just heading into the cold. Either way it’s tricky, tomorrow I could well be overly warm and digging my shorts back out 🫠

We have a saying here in Indiana: “If you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes and it will change.” In fact we’ve heard that saying claimed in many different locations around the country. Sounds like it may fit your home as well. By the way, where is home? I could not find it on your blog…

Thanks for sharing, Kate. It is amazing that even though we are over 9000 miles and the Pacific Ocean away, we can communicate within minutes of our contacts.

I know, I love it. I see the vast array of countries that tune into my blog, some I hardly give thought to normally – it’s humbling. I enjoy the many perspectives of the blogs I read. It is a truly global conversation in WordPress.

That action shot of the squirrel splashing the water out was so amusing. Squirrels check out our seed feeders on the deck, but I’ve never seen them go near the birdbath.
