Winter friends
April 11, 2021
So all winter, Hoppy behaved during the day:)
But then, we realize what Hoppy was doing all these nights…
From this,
To this…
So we did have to bring Hoppy to a new home, R & R Classic Cars lot. The sad thing is that when we left him, he did not hop away but rather stayed there looking at us seemingly saying : Are you deserting me?
Will Roger see him tomorrow???
And then, we hear one of our beautiful pileated woodpeckers…
pecking our chimney… Mating call?
Ah well, that is the price you pay for enjoying their company ha!
Hope…

First Day of Spring…
But then, a few days later, they welcome their friends.
These giant woodpeckers came back:)
Finally, not so good news. We have another sighting. A busy beaver. Who will win the war this year, Roger or the dam builder?
Spring 2021 tomorrow!

Is this possible? How time flies!
This winter was the first we have spent at home in a while. But nature never fails to amaze, even at home:)
Hoppy was a permanent visitor, staying put under our Xmas tree during the day and roaming at night. Roger finally discovered Hoppy’s favorite food 🙂 broccoli!
They kept us company:)
And then, who are those mystery visitors?

Will the lone goose survive the winter? We are told the cold is not a problem as long as there is open water. We feed it corn:)

Globe thistles bloom early to everyone’s delight.

Can’t wait to transplant those maples growing naturally among the ground cover…
This little chippie is begging for his morning treat…
Oh oh! Mother did not choose the best place to build a nest, and…she definitely underestimated the size of her chicks…
Who will get the last peanut?
The squirrel or the blue jay?
No summer is complete without…
