“Squirrels! Why did it have to be squirrels? I see them. I bark frantically. I try to get through the door, but I know I can’t, so I race out through the doggy door, but I can never get one…. Read More ›
Animals
A PEOPLIZED WORLD
Once upon a time — not all that long ago — most of North American was “open” space. There was room for predators. Room for herds of antelope, bison, deer and elk. Wild goats lived in the mountains with mountain… Read More ›
GETTING READY FOR BED AS WE ROLL INTO THE WINTER SOLSTICE
Garry goes to bed before me because he likes to settle into bed and watch (using headphones) old black & white classic movies — and westerns. Crime movies. The stuff I’m not usually interested in watching. This is fine because… Read More ›
THE VERY FATTEST SQUIRREL
We escaped the snow that hit most of the rest of New England. We’re right on the edge of many storms. They pass us closely, just a few miles away. But when Hurricane Sandy devastated this area, the storm passed… Read More ›
THOSE MUDEROUS CROWS
Garry came running out of the bathroom. “Go look at the feeders!!” I went and there were hundreds of crows all over my deck, the rails, the trees. Literally hundreds. You could barely see the deck for all the crows… Read More ›

A DAY FOR CRAZY RED SQUIRRELS, STEROID INJECTIONS, AND A BIT OF RAIN
I think it was a mother and child. There were two of them on the feeder this morning at 8 am. Yes, we got up early because I had (sigh) another doctor appointment. This was the one with the pain… Read More ›
DUKE SAYS “I’M NOT A DOG!”
This week, Duke rejected a meal — which all the people in the house had happily eaten the previous day — because it had potatoes in it. Duke, who claims he is not a dog, does not like potatoes. Any… Read More ›
KINDA PHOTOGRAPHIC
Kinda Focused It’s still high peak Autumn here and the weather is still warm. Summertime warm and just a bit humid. I don’t know how long it will last, but I love it.
LOOKING OUT OUR BACK (OR FRONT) DOOR — IN BLACK & WHITE
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Outside Your Home or View The autumn leaves are getting pale, though probably down by the river they are still bright. Here, though, they are pale. It’s definitely a result of the prolonged drought…. Read More ›
