Got called away from the garden. Seems we have at least 3 little guys, a big brother & mom all in the yard now.
I put them in the little hole nearby.
Now I know what happened to the 5 red strawberries since last night.
Buggers.
The problem is I can’t hurt them or relocate. Some hunter.Lol.they sure are cute. What happened to "the rabbits are becoming a problem"lol.
Who’s the big softy…we are.Lol I used to coon hunt alot .one year the dogs brought back a baby with its eyes closed.long story short I bottle fed it and raised it till it could take care of itself.couldnt hunt them anymore after that.
I have a baby coon that is trying to pass herself off as a cat! It’s hysterical! I call the cats and she comes too. She has just now stopped hissing at me when I offer her something. I’ll try to get a pic of her today.Lol I used to coon hunt alot .one year the dogs brought back a baby with its eyes closed.long story short I bottle fed it and raised it till it could take care of itself.couldnt hunt them anymore after that.
I keep Willow on the stoop until I do a check. My last dog, Bear, used to catch squirrels. They waited 17 months after he passed before going in the yard again. Willows faster and has a great nose but doesn’t see them as quickly.We got way too many, but the same I just cant use them for target practice. But our dog is a different story. Ive caught her twice eating them all the way this year
Looks like someone was having fun, Good looking crew!!Color blast from my sons 8th birthday.

Learn on a standard and you can drive anything with wheelsAfter three years of storage, she runs and stops on her own. Kiddos wanted to help kick off the grime.
So long I'm still around, and gasoline is available, I'll teach them both how to drive in this truck.

I'd suggest learn on a go cart how to drive, break, corner, speed, slide sideways and have fun with it....after that driving is easier to understand. There are so many distractions for a new driver driving should be all ready learned. Now its time to learn how to drive in traffic and that's a whole new ball game.... If you're still learning how to maneuver a car and you add traffic, road signs, pedestrian's, stop lights, advertising signs, road work....& a clutch???? ........lol.... Just one addon is enough to boggle most new drivers try to learn all that in say LA/ NY/ DC or any high volume traffic city.........Learn on a standard and you can drive anything with wheels

Although todays kids have better hand eye coordination from gaming all their lives, in cars they don't get free resets to start fresh with a new life.
I used trees, fences, big rocks, tractors, anything that would stop a moving gokart lol.Did we even add breaks?![]()
Ya times have changed...we used to have Go cart tracks around and my neighbor had 3 us kids went wild on in our back lane in the summers. Lawnmower engine carts not all that fast but fun fun fun and driving came naturally after that.Taught my son in the parking lots of our supper centres over COVID.

Go carts won’t let you do that here. They kick you out. Home made carts haven’t been built since I was a kid.

Still have my old lawnmower engine in the garage. Saved it for son and his buddies. That was 6 years ago or more. Kids don’t want them anymore. We would have fought for them. In the 70’s.Ya times have changed...we used to have Go cart tracks around and my neighbor had 3 us kids went wild on in our back lane in the summers.

That’s why no one asks to borrow my truck!Learn on a standard and you can drive anything with wheels
Car buddy of mine had an '83 Fox Convertible with the 302.First car was dads 79 mustang. (Really the Mercury Capri but no one new what that was.)
Race gears and shifter. 5.0L 302.
No lessons. No help. Just paid him and drove it home. Needed sand bags & winter tires! Fun car. Good times.
Yessir. Four speed transmission in it. I'm gonna teach the ol lady how to drive stick in it. Tried to teach her in the WRX but the clutch in that thing is like a 13 speed Mac truck.Learn on a standard and you can drive anything with wheels
It's very interesting there are so many strains from Oaxaca. My wife is Oaxacan and indigenous, she knows their language, Mexican, and English very well.
Dang you have a nice spot there DaveWhere's Waldo?View attachment 14367
Is that a deer to the right of your plant across the pond?Where's Waldo?View attachment 14367
When my grandson was 2, he had a t-shirt that said, "It's a good thing I'm cute." I guess the same can be said for cottontails.View attachment 13343View attachment 13344View attachment 13345

I am highly amused by red squirrels, but they are insane, ninja-like rodents who will eventually wreak havoc and destruction if you tolerate them and they get the idea you're a pushover.The problem is I can’t hurt them or relocate. Some hunter.
Now squirrels…different story.![]()

Yes, it's a battle of wits. Whenever i see one, I give it the "I'm watching you" sign, pointing to my eyes and then back at them. I'm pretty sure it puts shivers down their little spines.


That's a gray squirrel. I'm talking about this menace:Hopefully Waldo is a Wendy and looks like that healthy bush center of picture from across the pond.
I could stare at that forever~!
NICE!!!

The American Red Squirrel Is Small, Territorial and Aggressive
Red squirrels have a big attitude, which might have to due with their small size. They have to act big. And they do so with noisy and aggressive behavior.animals.howstuffworks.com
I can tell the guy who wrote the article is familiar with these beasts, using terms like "aggressive" and "murderous."
Ive seen this before, and its one of the best squirrel related videos ive seen. The dude went crazy building that course for the squirrels lol.If you guys line squirrels I really liked watching this
So funny how you can see their different personalities on the obstacle course
Edit: there's also a cool part in the video involving a slow motion breakdown of how a squirrel sticks its landing from crazy ass angles.
It cracked me up when some squirrel nicknamed fat something turns out to be a pregnant mommy lolIve seen this before, and its one of the best squirrel related videos ive seen. The dude went crazy building that course for the squirrels lol.
I have 3-4 red squirrels also, but they don't play well with me, the grays or anyone.That's a gray squirrel. I'm talking about this menace:

Willow just met a new red today. Cheeky bugger. He miss judged how quick she was but got saved by the split rail fence.I am highly amused by red squirrels, but they are insane, ninja-like rodents who will eventually wreak havoc and destruction if you tolerate them and they get the idea you're a pushover.
