Beggar at my window

I love how squirrels pull their paws in when they are thinking
ever notice that?
This one for sure is sending me glares
and thoughts of his needs this cold and new -snow morning
I had to shovel my way out to put seed in the feeders for the birds
and for them, my pesky squirrels, who think I owe them
But the joy they bring me with their antics are worth it
I now have a new stray kitty that has been coming around for a bite
to eat .....Boo thinks it's wonderful his new friends at the door
and if my friend Mary hadn't rescued Boo..he'd be a feral cat
looking for food and shelter everyday himself
and living a horrible life full of dangers...
So thank you Mary for Boo
you saved a good one!

Morning opens gently

I love when morning opens gently. Though it is cold outside and the snow has turned icy, the garden is alive with activity for my viewing pleasure. This little fellow and his cohorts have eaten just about every seed I have placed out for all the wards to partake of for survival. That is one thing about squirrels,they eat and eat.
A brave one came to the window and looked in....are you home?
Today I feel centered in my being and he simply amuses me. I drink my coffee slowly knowing shortly I will answer his pleas and place out some peanuts that he doesn't know that I have stashed away. 
It will be an empty day for doing nothing but puttering. A day to be savored with just myself.
 I like days like that. Not the same as puttering in the garden, but things need tidying up and tending to and weeding inside as well.  But for now let the sun pour in and make me glad.

Rare blooms

My my my
look at the last bloom of the baseball plant
hidden under the cottoneasters
In the back garden I also have had a few rare blooms
of the football plant and the bottle rocket bush
and why just yesterday I discovered
a Frisbee hidden under some fallen leaves...what a find
It's a good thing I'm not Mr McGregor
I just threw them all back over the fence
Besides...my little squirrel friend ,who lives in my River Birch tree,
well, I spotted him hiding nuts all over their yard
and I saw..but won't swear to,to the fact that I saw him
gnawing on their wooden playhouse.....and stealing their pirate flag
and dragging it into his leafy,nesty abode (hee hee)
ah revenge is sweet
or is that
revenge is mine saith the Lord
nah... that's vengeance
and I have none of that
