Since my last post may have inspired nightmares of flesh rotting spider bites, how about a few pictures of happy things that certainly ought to make anyone smile!

| Ok, I know, bunnies are prolly on a lot of people's poop lists, but (so far) ours stay on the far edge of the yard up against the tall, unmowed grass line, and I haven't noticed any damage in the flower beds. I take it as another sign that we're providing a healthy habitat, especially since we cancelled our lawn service and the backyard is now full of clover! |

| Hey mister! Are you our Pater familias? |
 |
| Seeing these little fellas hop around and chase each other really is cute, I guess it means we don't have any foxes in the neighborhood this year. |
 |
| Ma and Pa Bluebird are currently working on their second brood, it's a constant stream of back and forth to the box, feeding and guarding. They are a constant presence this year, and we feel very fortunate to have them. I think they look quite regal here. |
 |
| Who doesn't smile when they see a rainbow? Surely this undoes the evil images of the black widow! This picture comes from our trip to Hatteras last month. |
 |
| I dare you not to smile in the presence of the beautiful Sweet Pea! |
 |
| Or at the goofy antics of little Squeak! |
Ok, you made me smile, I'll admit it. Several times. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHow are you preventing the cats from snacking on the purdy bluebirds?
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a picture of my cat catching rabbits.... I can't consider those pests cute...
I'd rather look at spiders... Haven't shot black widows in a while... Maybe I need to.
Ellen, you're welcome!
ReplyDeletestonethegardener, my cats are indoors only. I've read too many studies about how much damage cats do to the bird population that I decided to keep my cats indoors. I know what you mean about rabbits though, I know plenty of people that consider them worse than deer.
