I must get some needed supplies for my critter friends Today,
Snow forecast for Tuesday,
So far all the snow forecasts have been wrong:-)
Happy Sunday!
The squirrels in our garden are so hilarious,
This one had long stare-down with me,
With all the seeds on the ground that was fun for him,
Each time he ate a seed he would rest his left front leg on the rock and stare at me:-)
Many of those rocks have geodes and Fossils in them,
