As the mist left the land
Boomer and I took squirrel food and birdseed over to the equipment area
To feed the little critters
For life ‘on the land’ can be a tad harsh in the winter.
After spreading out the treats we (Boomer and I) waited. First, the little chipmunk to show up.
While the chipmunk ran home to deposit the great find. Natures’ vacuum cleaner arrived! 🙂
Leaving nothing behind
Nothing.
I couldn’t put any more out for two reasons: I had not brought enough. And if I came out to scatter more— the birds wouldn’t come back.
Instead, I would get a repeat of the squirrel. 🙂
Darn it.

True. Although, I would like to feed the birds at least some.

‘Nature’s vacuum cleaner’ is a great description of the squirrels — at least the type we have around or feeders.

I like that he eats, but, oh my, I wish he would leave some for the others!

You and I, Connie. Although, we don’t have bear (yet) and wolves (I hope never) we do share all the others! 🙂

Lulu: “We’ve got none of that crisp air here ― we are still getting roasted like it’s August or something. I wouldn’t mind having some of that snow to roll in right about now!”
Charlee: “What are you talking about? I saw you out on the patio lying in the sun.”
Lulu: “Well sure. That’s how you do it. First you get baked by the sun, then you roll around in the snow to cool off, then you do it all over again.”
