Titmouse screamed into every hollow… because when there’s a predator about and you’re the neighborhood safety officer- that’s just what you do💚

When your mom is hanging by her toes off the porch again and your little squirrel arms are not quite long enough to reach her tail

Umm… I dunno if that’s a good idea, Katydid- there’s usually a frog down there

Normally, I’d cut down this little invasive privet… but this one serves as a neighborhood bulletin board- with important scents left by Opossum later received by Raccoon

You’re making me miss my mom… if you’ve got a cast iron skillet, apples, butter, and sugar (maybe cinnamon or other apple pie spices)… you’ve got dessert

Nobody gives side-eye quite like Anole😄

Squirrel adjusted the camera angle to give us this unique view of her having a drink at the corner pond… Frog is unbothered by this development- just waiting for bug snacks to appear

Pickerel frog buddies sharing a bit of moss tonight
Two frog friends snuggled into a mossy spot- facing different directions:
“don’t worry buddy, I’ve got your back… nobody’s gonna invade our moss”

Hawk’s been hanging around so things have been pretty quiet in the yard today, except… 1/2

My family said these grapes were not the best- but Opossum says they just don’t know what’s good… cause these are Delicious😄

Squirrel has strong opinions about camera angles… I adjust them, Squirrel fixes them… it’s just something I have to accept😂

It’s the time of year when all sorts of fancy birds stop by the yard for bug snacks and a drink of water… so, if you’ve got room for a little container pond- they would appreciate it💚

Not sure if it was the increased cat activity in the yard or if it’s just time for some important treetop training… but Mama Squirrel wrapped each of her little ones around her face and carried them up the pine

Oh, we never hit her… and if it’s cold out- there’s a truce in place

Around here- if you hear this outside: you shove your feet in boots and grab a super soaker to chase off the neighbor’s cat because you might not have control over much but you can look out for a neighbor in distress

The usual cam is down but this one still caught Mama Squirrel doing a little home improvement today💚
