Just nuts - bearly awake
You know how it happens. You are sitting there having a quiet beer while looking at all the great photos on Flickr. You feel a bit peckish and remember you have some peanuts in the pantry... Next minute, where did they go?
I spotted what i took for a mouse scurrying about under the bird feeders so i put some peanuts down to see if i could catch a glimpse of it! It turned out we have a shrew (which i am struggling to get a hot of its so fast) and this field vole i now put a few nuts down most mornings for them.
Today I was spoiled for choice. Decided to select this one for Peggy because we were talking about shelling peanuts before. This guy is quite adept at doing this which means, no work for me. Yes, I know you are envious Peggy :-)
I posted him despite the fact that he did not pass the "crisp" test, because this was the only one that showed the tongue action indicating his love for peanuts. And yes, perhaps he would prefer to eat the squirrel instead but those are off limits in this area.
And no guys, this is not a trapping shot. These peanuts are really meant for the squirrels and Blue Jays.

EXPLORED-May 2020 Last June I had to put my cat to sleep. Well, as soon as he was gone, the little chipmunks were brave enough to come around. I started tossing a few peanuts out in the mornings when I had my latte on the porch. Little by little I coaxed them up to me to take one. Then over the winter, I left a jar of sunflower seeds out for them, hoping they would stay around. I was so happy that it didn't take long at all for them to remember me!
Ha!ha! Just another Chippy photo taken today. I love his little hands wrapped around the peanut like a corn on the cob;)
We've been getting rain almost ever day (I sure hope our rainy season has started) and my Perennial Peanuts groundcover out front is just full of blooms. It has struggled on the sunny side of the ROW with the heat and drought. I'm thankful.
Saturday morning in the back yard. Bluejays and
squirrels scolding while a raccoon eats their breakfast.
Plus a neighborhood cat watching from the sidelines.
Have a good weekend everybody.
Fox squirrels getting ready for a cold winter in Michigan - taken on Monday December 12th, 2022. Very short walk on campus - but I did see Epaulette over by Kresge. Need to make sure that the squirrels with mange are getting their meds. Taken on a cold late Autumn day in Ann Arbor. Wishing you joy, health and peace wherever you are.

Prominently featured here is my multi-purpose bird stand doubling as paint can support and, as seen in this image, Coyote Peanut Dispenser. It serves each of these functions equally well with no required scheduled maintenance intervals. Pretty sure that our coyote doesn’t care about any of these features. And just to state the obvious here, these peanuts are not meant for him but really intended for the Blue Jays and Magpies. Crows, as well. I really should put up a sign on the stand so that I don’t have to explain this each and every time.
What is most impressive about this shot is something that can’t be seen but is a prominent part that allowed this shot to be taken. No, it’s not the extremely clean window glass although that is also a part of it. It is the fact that I was able to calm Misha (black dog) down enough to not scare the coyote away - they are extremely skittish even more so than the crows. So, yes, watching countless of the Dog Whisperer shows featuring Cesar Millan finally paid off. Thank you Cesar.
It’s obvious that this is a severe case of peanuts on the brain.
It has been quite a while since we have seen a squirrel up on our deck. They have been playing in the trees and scrub oak but not venturing up so we can get a better view of them. Yesterday, this fellow decided the lure of peanuts was just too much to bear. It was actually quite humorous – the jays and even the magpies waited their turns, albeit impatiently, as this fellow satiated his appetite. They stormed in when he left, making sure they got their fair share (at least in their minds!).
Have a blessed day!
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

looks like my Snoopy collection grew again. Actually I just moved several of my regular "use" cups to the collection because I had broken a couple and I didn't want to risk losing any more.
