LA Dec 2022
We went down south to visit my Ma and in between cleaning details we managed to eat & socialize a bit. Our 1st night we had a small snack at Bomb Chicken. We stayed with Don & Hester but all throughout during breakfast I had to feeling we were unwelcome by Mr Squirrel. For lunch …
Squirrel Looter Busted
He will deny it, but I have a record proof. There’s a $500.00 reward to any tip that will lead to an arrest. Follow up: A week and a half later I found the apple 🍎 wedged in a nearby tree. I’ve never seen this type of squirrel behavior before.

Empty Nester

Duckie Prequel
We have a duck that has decided our backyard is the best place for a nest sight. We are waiting patiently for the hatching ceremony (approx 28 days). Oddly a crow has decided to harass it. She lays on her eggs for days at a time while her mate waits bored out of his mind. …
