We saw this dandelion field as we were zooming down the road one day. My great granddaughter said "Wow! That's a lot of dandelions!" ha! ha!
I had this inquisitive little squirrel.. (which I haven't seen for awhile.)
He got up in my old wheelbarrow..butt in the air!! Looking, searching..trying to find IT!
I think he must have buried a nut or something in there. Maybe he found all of the ones he had buried in my pots and planters..
I had lots of these cat birds...they are marked really pretty.
And of course the orioles. They came for quite awhile, but had to share their grape jelly and oranges with the cat birds. sad So, I haven't seen them much anymore either.
But these sweethearts, come visit all the time. I usually put safflower seed in the pan on the patio. They seem to love it. We've had those black birds here almost all spring. When we fill the suet and seed cakes...they seem to finish them off in a couple days..uggg Finally, last week my son filled the hanging ones again. Yeah!! And thankfully they haven't returned.
One night there was one of those beautiful moons out..my camera never seems to be able to capture the true essence of it. But it was really pretty!
Are you ready for the 4th?? I just almost hate to see it come. Our state has legalized fireworks this year. (I know they used to shoot them off before...knowing they'd never get caught). But now...it's terrible...they are really shooting off BIG ones. Poor Rusty, he just goes nuts. Do you have big plans for this holiday weekend?? I hear on the news the price of regular gas have dropped below $2.00 a gallon. What is your price where you live?? It's $2.06 where I live, and $1.95 across town!!! (I'm assuming one area sells more than the other.) Stay safe...

I loved seeing the squirrel and birds. The Oriole is beautiful and I have only seen one in my backyard. I'd love to see more. The gas prices around here range from 1.99 to 2.12 a gallon depending on which town you're in. And I'm with you on the loud boomers. It scares the poor cats and dogs to death. My little Stormy even gets scared when it's thundering and wants to go downstairs.
Have a nice day!
Those dandelions know how to take over a field in a hurry! Fun shot of your visiting squirrel! Our gas is pretty high here, about 2.54, and so we are hoping the gas prices do go down, that would be wonderful! Hugs to you today :)
Gert, Glad you are enjoying some birds and that squirrel. We stopped putting any seeds out but thistle in the upside down feeders for finches. They are the only ones who can eat like that...although I think Buntings can. The rodents around here were just taking over...too many squirrels, rabbits and chipmunks...so Ted has refused to feed the birds till we capture some of the furry things and haul them down the road to a woods. I miss our sweet birds...oh I still feed the hummers. Blessings to you and your family for a safe nd happy holiday. , xoxo,love, Susie
