Weekend visitors-Angie, Dave & Alyssa

We had beautiful weather for the 3 day visit

White-throated Sparrow

This bird crashed into my window & was laying on the ground on his back - Dave picked him up & held him until he was able to fly away

Wild Roses

Wild roses along the driveway - it looks like a buttercup snuck into the picture

My house

My house is the one on the right, it looks small from this angle but it is 24' X 40'. This picture was taken from the mountain at the back of the property. (Debby's house is on the left & a shed is in behind)

Bob

When Bob wants to get my attention he hops up on the window sill (please excuse the chipping paint - it is on my "to do" list to scrape & paint, but as you know, I am very busy with reading, TV watching & napping)

Bob - with peanut


when he hears the screen door open, he comes up on to the door sill to get a peanut

Baby Chipmunk

I noticed this baby chipmunk going in circles on my lawn. Her eyes aren't even open yet. She must have wandered away from her den & got lost. After awhile I guess she got tired & I think took a nap. I got up the nerve to pick her up - she wasn't scared and just sat still. She felt warm. She didn't even pee or poop on me. I knew we have some chipmunk holes around so I walked around and around until I found one but it hadn't been used for a while because the vegitation hadn't been disturbed. So I kept walking round & round until I found one that was being used. I put her down with her head at the hole & she crawled down. I just hope it was her home and that the owner of the den didn't kick her out. I just couldn't leave her out in the open for something to get her. I have noticed since I posted this picture that Bob lives in the hole that I put the baby into.

Me

Pansies


These are the flowers I planted this year - 48 Pansies & 2 perennials that are not flowering yet

Morning visitor


She stood there for quite a while looking at the bird feeder - she was alone. Deer usually travel in groups, maybe she was lonely

Thumper


He was licking the driveway - I think for salt that had come off my car in the winter.

Concentration


Mark wanted to repair his hoodie. He insisted grandma show him how to sew.
