Wildlife

Today is a cold Saturday morning.  26 oF  We are happy to have running water today.  We had two days recently when the water froze.  Chris built a wooden box around the water spigot and put  light bulb in it and that seems to keep things just warm enough.
As we wait for things to warm up a bit before we go out to the barn we have seen quite a bit of wild life this morning.

Two foxes have be around.  They hung out around the trailer for a good bit.  Long enough to look up that fox season is for fox chase only and we can't kill them.  To bad, cause the look like they'd make a nice warm coat!

Then we saw the white deer and her friends just behind the trailer.  They looked at us for a while then moved on.  Deer season starts in 6 days.

We have bird feeders just by our kitchen window with safflower seeds and one with wood pecker mix.  Just this morning we have seen: Carolina Chic-a-dee, Tufted Titmouse, Downy Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, White breasted Nuthatch, Mourning Dove, Purple Finch.

We also have two squirrels who frequent the bird feeder who the boys have named fatso1 and fatso2.

In the time it took to type this it has warmed enough to go out and work.  We'll be hanging more siding and working on the garden reconstruction.

Have a great weekend!
