Uninvited Dinner Guest
A couple of months ago we discovered that something was trying to get into the plastic container on our porch, the container that holds our cats' food. I heard some banging and noises during the middle of the night and discovered this critter. From then on we didn't leave cat food out at night, trying to make sure this little guy looked for food somewhere else. Then one day someone left a bag of cat food out on the porch, not in the sealed container. We were very surprised and concerned to see our guest back during the day. Turns out she was a new mom and looked like she was starving. Maybe we shouldn't have, but she looked healthy other than hungry, she didn't bother our cats who were unfazed by her appearance, so we made sure she had a dinner every night. We haven't seen her in awhile. Seems she and her family have moved on.

Munching Mantis
We had some pumpkin plants come up on their own in this summer's garden, in between our squash plants. Not the right time of the summer for pumpkins to be growing, but we left them there to see how well they would grow. A week or so ago we picked the pumpkins and brought them up to the porch. In the morning we found this praying mantis enjoying his breakfast on our newly harvested pumpkin.

Boy in the Water
Last night I was out filling the water buckets for the yaks and Boy came up. He waited patiently for the big blue bucket to fill, clean cold well water, worth waiting for. Slurped a little from the top, and then he dunked his nose in, all the way up to his eyes, while blowing the water out of his nose. Wish I had a video of that.Pin It Now!
