Cinnamon found some tasty shoots close to the sun room door.
The little, red squirrel closed the hatch to the feeder leaving the male Goldfinch bewildered.
CJ schlepped out to open the feeder hatch just in time for the male Cardinal to have a snack.
The male Rosy-breasted Grosbeak stand guard on top of the shepherd's hook
so his mate can have a turn at the feeder. There's a Goldfinch on top of the trellis.
The Grosbeaks share a meal together
Potential, sunny wishes bloom before the lawn service arrived for Spring clean up
This little fellow caused quite a stir outside the calligraphy class studio window at WAM.
Back at my house, the woods on a foggy morning.
The little red squirrel stuffs his face
A half inch of rain from a dreary Saturday
Morning glories hardening up waiting to be planted. Red gave me some echinacea, lily of the valley, and some milkweed.
Aww. What a cute little bunny.
ReplyDeleteOkay, the skunk is cute too, but keep him there:)
Happy Mother's Day to a wonderful mom.
It was weird seeing the skunk in the middle of the city.
DeleteHope you enjoy a Happy Mother's Day, too.
Wishing you a very Happy Mother's Day, CJ!
ReplyDeleteThank you, my Lady
DeleteYour garden is doing well, and it's great to see all of your visitors. The squirrels are cheeky little things! But I'm glad we don't have skunks here....Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see the skunk in the middle of the city. We don't usually see the out here in the country unless they are road kill, but we sure can smell them
DeleteGood morning, I enjoyed your post-the birds and animals are always so entertaining-loved the foggy woods. we have a family of wild rabbits here now-we noticed them over winter-I am not too happy with them right now-cause I am sure it was them that snuck in my garden and ate all of my just planted melon plants oh well. lol Happy Mother's Day
ReplyDeleteI just brewed up some Bunny Juice to deter the bunnies from eating the morning glories as so as they are hardened. In an empty and clean, gallon milk jug: 5 cloves of crushed garlic, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 T. dish soap. Fill with water. Let sit in the sun a day or two. Spray plants you don't want the bunnies to eat. Bunnies don't like it and it won't hurt them or the plants. Reapply after rain
Deletethamk you
DeleteI'm enjoying seeing your wildlife :) and your foggy woods I'm impressed with the rain gauge. That'd be fun here. We don't get the red squirrels, but our chipmunks are voracious at the bird feeders.
ReplyDeleteThe rain gauge was a birthday gift for Himself. i found it in the Wind and Weather catalog: http://www.windandweather.com/brass-jeffersonian-rain-gauge.htm
DeleteThanks for the link!
DeleteWOW, I'm glad I don't have a bird feeder anymore. Some animal broke mine, so I have never replaced it. Looks to me like your garden is starting to take shape, and your squirrels and bunnies are enjoying the fruits of your labor. You make keep the skunk. Thankfully, they are scarce in the city.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day, dear C.J.
The garden is starting to wake up and there's a steady stream of customers at the feeder. I was surprised to see the skunk at the art museum right in the middle of the city.
DeleteSo glad to see your garden coming back to life! :D
ReplyDeleteIt's busting out all over
DeleteI take it WAM is the Worcester Art Museum and I will say, that is a busy place for a skunk. I went by there yesterday going to and coming from my Moms. I think it was WPI graduation day as the road was filled with cars parked like everywhere and police where out directing traffic. Today was gorgeous, and you were lucky and got rain yesterday. I wish we'd had some here at home but I think it was just cloudy. Hope you had a fantastic Mother's Day CJ. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteYup, WAM = Worcester Art Museum. I was very surprised to see a skunk in the middle of the city. Yes, WPI graduation was Saturday. The next few weekends are busy in Worcester with the 10 colleges and high school graduating. I had a nice Mother's Day. Hope yours and your mom's was pleasant as well.
DeleteLooks like spring is here finally ...lol 😉. Glad to see all your feathered friends visiting and it was fun to see Mr. Skunk too! I spent most of yesterday weeding and tidying my garden, I'm not much of a gardener but I try ...lol 😉. Have a great new week! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Mr. Skunk will show up to class again this week.
DeleteI hope you had a great Mother's Day CJ!
ReplyDeleteI love this post! You made me smile! Bunny, birds, squirrel and a cute skunk!! Perfect in every way!! Your foggy morning picture is so coo! Big Hugs!
I had a nice Mother's Day. Hung out watching movies in the sun room with Himself, texted with The Young One. She was attending a wedding in Ohio. And The Eldest called on the phone from her home in Pennsylvania. Life is good.
