Someone New.......................

The last couple of days we have had a new visitor. A tiny red squirrel. So dang cute. Still I know they can be trouble so I hope Bud next door doesn't spot him/her. It's been a chore to try and get a picture. He never sits still. He is like a bumble bee flitting hither and yon. Little head pops over the snowbanks to disappear and pop up the other side of the garden. I did manage to get a couple of pictures.

It's a wonder I got a couple of pictures that were not a blur.

He got a chunk of cookies. My last batch slid together when I put them in the oven, I could not be bothered to be creative with them and tossed them out for the birds. Well he looks like he is enjoying them.Or it could be Tristens left over peanut butter and chocolate sandwich. Bet is was, either way he got peanut flavour.

He is soon back on the other side and popping up and down again. He came to the deck once or twice but my camera was not ready.


The last few days
it's not been quite as cold. We have had loads of squirrels, Starlings and Blue Jays but the small birds not so much. I saw the Cardinals out front today singing and eating apples. He was probably drunk.
It was raining, sleeting and snowing first thing.

Didn't stop the squirrels. When it's time to eat it's time to eat.
I put out some bread and some left over baked beans. There will be trouble at the roost tonight because this guy really indulged. Bet he sleeps on the outside.


Could not resist one little Chickadee person who showed up looking cute

All for now...........I will be looking out for my new little friend at the feeders. Not sure if he will want to get that close but we shall see.
