Thank you so for taking the time to leave a comment. I enjoy reading them very much and always try to return a visit. As I do monitor comments it may take a while for them to appear, even quite late depending on what is going on and how much time I am able to spend on the computer.
I appreciate all who look at my blog, but I won't be publishing any businesses. If you are only able to publish anonymously, would you sign your name please, and leave an addy so I can return your visit where possible? Thank you!
Aww, his favorite restaraunt is closed, until further notice...
ReplyDeleteI know Ginny but it is comforting to know that he is getting lots of exercise digging for acorns buried around the garden ;)
DeleteYou are too late for the meal :-))
ReplyDeleteIndeed :)
DeleteAwww. Poor thing.
ReplyDeleteSoon, very soon :)
DeleteClosed restaurant shame. Cheers Diane
ReplyDeleteAh yes, and cheers to you too Diane :)
DeleteThat is the trouble with feeding wildlife.
ReplyDeleteEspecially with all the racoons and foxes as well as the bears. Fortunately, there have been no bears mentioned in our neighborhood app lately. We also have coyotes running around here but I haven't seen one myself yet. And of course, we have to remember they were all here first :)
DeletePatience. You must not attract bears to the back yard.
ReplyDeleteGood advice William :)
DeleteHe's persistent to keep checking in. Soon it will back in business.
ReplyDeleteHi Ann, yes very persistent. I just saw one of his relatives running up and over the apex of my neighbor's roof. They like to run up the tree in our front yards where they might have a nest, and over the roof to a tree that overhangs in the back yard.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe squirrels have plenty of food stashed away. Cute image. Have a happy weekend.
They certainly do and thank you Eileen. You have a happy Sunday and a great week ahead :)
DeleteHaha ... you've become quite good at reading the minds of these critters. :) Unintended guests makes one pause before putting out bird feeders.
ReplyDeleteYes, and a good imagination helps :) As for the unintended guests, you would be correct :)
Deletethis effects us to. no fun fotos from the rail for us to laugh at.. go to sleep bears so the food comes back to entertain us in blogland
ReplyDeleteAwww, I still have photos left over Sandra, I'll be putting them up here and there :)
DeleteBears? Oh my!!
ReplyDeleteAnd coyotes and racoons and foxes, oh my, LOL! :) Thanks for the smile Anni.
DeleteAwww I do like the picture :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.
All the best Jan
So glad and thank you Jan. I hope your weekend was wonderful! Have a great week :)
DeleteIt is smart to not encourage visits from bears. :)
ReplyDeleteMost definitely! We have quite a good communication about such things thanks to our neighborhood app :)
DeleteHe's always hopeful! So cute, Denise.
ReplyDeleteThank you Martha Ellen, I am happy you enjoyed :)
DeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanie, so glad :)
DeleteOh, your post reminded me of something, and since you know about squirrels, I thought I'd ask........when I see the squirrels on my lawn, they often dig on the ground like they are storing something up for Winter. Are they storing up nuts and things that fall from the pine trees? You mentioned the bears on one of the quotes too - do you have bears in your area? Bears once roamed my area up in the mountains, and I think there are still some out there, but have never seen any.

Yes, they are burying their acorn and whatever is tasty to them. As for the pinecones they chew through the pinecones to get down to the seeds in the center. They will also store the cones away to enjoy later. Good thing they have sharp little teeth :) When we laid mulch around our house there were dozens of holes where they had been burying their goodies. They store acorns, nuts, berries, even tree bark, all in shallow holes near the trees. Like bears they also eat like crazy before food gets scarce, so that they can put on a lot of body mass in preparation for winter. They also sometimes forget where they have buried them, so you might get the start of a forest in your garden, lol! :)
DeleteI haven't actually seen bears myself around here, but people have put up photos in our neighborhood, of bears at their birdfeeders, and they do destroy them to get to the seed.
This one was thought to be a young one whose mother had told it that it was time to set out on its own, and from what I read from the local expert, it was looking for new territory which took it through our neighborhood. We were asked to take down our birdfeeders. As we were also getting nightly visits from raccoons in particular, I thought it best to follow that advice.
Sorry for the longwinded answer :)
Denise, thanks so much for the info. It was all interesting to me. I learned a few things too. It's always important to know about the wildlife that is in your own area. I've never had squirrels around before, so good to know.
DeleteWishing you happy September days. : )
Hi Sheri, so glad you found this interesting, and Happy September Days to you also :)
