Happy Squirrel Appreciation Day 2021

And appreciation of a slew of other creatures around this place! 




 

I love them!  I love to watch them climb and play. 


The killer. 

Some of you who don't follow me on FB... this little guy got into my small henhouse, and killed the tiny black silkie hen.  

I toook him to the bottom of the pasture... in a bucket... gently.... and in two days, 
he was BACCCCCKKK. 



I put a camera in the sheep barn to see what ate the dead silkie. 

This is the yellow tabby that has been eating here lately. 

Oh, I just re-read this.  I put some cat food in there nightly.  It has been eating the cat food. 



A wren on the porch water.  I have to say that in all the years I've lived here, 
I do not remember seeing wrens before this year!

They are beautiful little birds. 



Starlings.  They love cat food. 



A jay. Those low waters, I have two, are heated. 


A blue jay with three cardinals behind him waiting to eat. 

I counted eight cardinal pairs out there the other night. 



I'm just not even going to comment here. 


Or here. 

Here, I have to make another funny comment. 
Sometimes I get up during the night to go to the bathroom. 
I never EVER see anything on the deck in the middle of the night, but yet, the next morning, there are many pictures on the camera.  What the HECK?


Another squirrel pic. 




I am going to comment here.  Friends, this was taken on the seventeenth. 
THAT MAMA IS NURSING. 



The Three Amigos.  
Jester is very lonely now... so is his mama.  
I can't tell you how much losing Fritzi and Snowy affected me... maybe it's age. 

I still feel myself welling up for them. 

I have been sick since Christmas, have been tested twice for Covid, and mercifully 
both tests were negative.  I did end up in the ER this week, but after 
being tested out the wazoo, was released to go home and see my doctor. 

I feel much better today, but am taking it easy for a few days and hydrating, hydrating, hydrating. 

A new day has dawned for our country, and I am glad to be here to be a part of it. 

Thanks to all of you for your wonderful well wishes, I so appreciated them.
