I had to post this early as this moment was such fun! If I could reach out from where I'm sitting, this squirrel is not more than 3' away! I heard chattering, looked up, and thought for sure it was Frosty! I went out with "treats" (peanuts) and the squirrel moved away and kept chattering...*not* Frosty! But the word on the street seems to be that this is a Soup Kitchen, and just let the cook know your menu selection! This isn't the first time I've seen little faces peering in at me, and it's always a delightful moment! Just had to share!
@nataliejohnson22 Oh but you have the cutest possums in the world and I recall they could be quite cheeky and friendly! Of course you'd have to stay up all night with them!
@snowy We keep a steady supply of peanuts on hand! We're stocking up at present to be away until late November, so we've got about 60# of bird seed and 60# of sunflower seed and 10 large bags of peanuts...not to mention a warehouse-full of cat food! And if that weren't enough, I just put up a hummingbird feeder! My friend loves all the animals as much as we do, so she looks after *everything* in our absence,,,
@chard Fear not! Frosty always makes herself known if I see a squirrel in the feeder, step outside and she runs right over to me! We now have a male w/a scraggle tail, and the one today who is scoping out the territory like it's a new country to explore! My friend, Tracy, will keep everyone so happy, they'll never miss me! I assume you saw above to Diana the quantity we've stocked up for our absence! This is a pretty happy yard!
Remember reading about the hobos during the Depression marking the houses that provided food for them? Wonder what the squirrel sign is for "Soft Touch"?
@golftragic Welcome aboard, Marnie! I'll see to it that Ken gets some photos at the Bluenose Golf Course in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia...it's anything but typical! http://365project.org/Weezilou/365/2013-10-20 That's it, across the way...on the side of the hill with the harbour as a water hazard!
@allie912@digitalrn Alli and Rick...I think they ALL bring friends! That hobo mark you mentioned is a cat...it means "A friendly Woman Lives Here"... I don't want to break my arm, patting myself on the back, but I get Ken to shell out the big bucks for food and then I bestow it upon them all!
