Time to move on....

Guess this will be my last post for awhile while I get busy with all the stuff I need to do. I do plan on blogging some more in the near future so I hope if you are reading along, you'll come back to visit later on....

The baby squirrels have gotten so big I can hardly tell them from their mother. Five of the eight survived and I suspect they will be moving on too in a few weeks. I will miss my baby squirrel family, they were a daily source of amusement and inspiration.

Caught Ya Baby

About a week or so ago, we discovered a family of baby ground squirrels living under our deck. There are 8 of them and one Momma who has been nursing them, according to my research, for about 7 to 8 weeks and they are now getting out on their own to roam the rose garden. They live under the deck just next to the bird feeder, so they have a continual supply of seeds. They are really cute to watch and seemed to be keeping to the garden, then I noticed all my little pansies and vioilas missing on my plants in pots on the deck. I really don't mind. I am afraid for them though because there are stray cats and hawks out there, but they can just scoot back under the deck if danger approaches....
