A cool Saturday post.

Two Squirrels at our birdbath and something else for a laugh.

The one at the back was ready jo jump on as soon as the one on the bath jumped off. But the top one was first doing some sight seeing.

I have only once, briefly, seen two squirrels at the same time on the bath, but they were too quick for me to get a photo. The thing is that squirrels don't bath. They only drink water and then they disappear. Like cats, they clean themselves daily by licking and wiping themselves.
Always full of tricks though, and they are, I think, the most agile jumpers in the trees. It is amazing how fast they can travel along a line of trees, from the one end to the other.
Come and see.

This was the view of the squirrels from my window.

So the back one decided to look for a nut at the top of the log, where a nut may have been placed by another squirrel.

Ah! The one on the bath saw me and he came to the window for a nut.

He decided that the top of a flower pot was the best place to sit and eat the nut.

Now for the laugh!

Hey Zac, look how she is taking her time in the bath.

Ooh you know, woman can be so spiteful. She knows that I also want to bath.

Please can you come out and talk to her.

There you have it. I like at times, to have some fun in my posts as there is nothing funny here today with the upset weather we are having. One more week and all of this will be over, as we will be moving away from here. So, it is going to be a very sad occasion to leave the little ones behind.
We have become big friends with all of them. They trust us and we had much fun with them over the three years we stayed in this house. They all are our friends, but there is always a time to go in life. And we have to do what we have to do.
Such is life.

And That's All Friends.

Sort:  

Another move hopefully to a quiet little place away from noise of sirens and cars.

Little friends made along the way will be missed that is for sure, for both them and for you.

Happy smooth move!

@tipu curate

Indeed Lady Joan and the loss of the noise is definitely a bonus.

You know us, and yes madam is in tears most days now that the move is approaching. But such is life.

Thank you, and thank you also for the tip.

Hope all goes well, finding a place to call home can become a problem of late.

Oh yes, and this new one will also be only temporary Lady Joan, until the day that I find the ideal place, if there is such a thing.

Happy hunting, not easy to find ideal of late.

Been searching for 3 years now and still nothing Lady Joan.
The place that I want should have a view of the mountains, but they are all built up with very expensive houses. Something somewhere will pop up sooner or later methinks.

!WINEX !hivebits

Might have to look further afield, problem is to always check facilities available to your needs.

Private hospital is the greatest need Lady Joan in case of another stroke. Sadly some ideal places only have clinics so in this sense the areas are limited.

I love it!

Me too :)

I feel everyone I know is moving to one place or the other, some are done and some are still on it while others were unable due to passport, or timing issues.
CTP!

Same here and it seems to be the season when the most moves are taking place.
It is our 10th move now so we are quite experienced in it.

There's a lot going on and I can imagine that it's a lot of fun watching the squirrels and birds having fun with the bird bath 😊
So you are really moving to another place, my friend? I do hope that it will be a good and quiet place and that there's enough space for some entertainment in the backyard 😀

Thank you and yes I have had many adventures with the animals and the birds at the birdbath. We are leaving the birdbath here in the hope that the new owner will also put fresh water in every day for them.

Yes we are packing up and preparing for the move on the 15th of this month. It is indeed a very quiet place, but much smaller than this place. The garden is also a quarter size of this garden and there is only one small lemon tree in it.
I have kept all of our succulent plants in pots and we are taking them with us. About 30 pots and we will transform the garden into a small part of nature.
Marian is a problem though as she keeps on crying about the animals that we are leaving 😥

Cheers and thanks.

I hope that the little critters and the birds are lucky to get another animal lover to live in your house and I can feel so very well with Marian, because it's like leaving family members back who need daily care.


Maybe you like a !PIZZA fresh from the Oven 😋

In the meantime Marian has connected with the lady next door and she will take over the nut job for our squirrels. But Harry and Sally we are not sure about.
One thing that I know is that nature will take care of them.

I don't like to leave things undone and at least the the squirrel issue was sorted.
Thank you for the care my friend.

Cheers and thanks.

Harry and Sally will find a new place, and maybe they will find even your new home 😁

But I am very happy that you have found someone who takes care of the little squirrels, because I don't think they will leave this place 😊

Love this post!

Thank you and it makes me glad.

One more week and all of this will be over, as we will be moving away from here.

Hopefully you will move to a similarly good (maybe to an even better) place. And hopefully you will build new friendships there. Who knows. Maybe there will be other squirrels, or different animals.

I wish you good health, good luck and all the best.

Have a nice day and have a nice weekend.

Greetings and much love from Hungary.

Thank you for the kind comment and no there are no animals at the new place. Only a small enclosed garden, but the noise of traffic and such are far away. So it is a place of peace.
We can still drive out to visit farms and the mountains and the beach is also close.

I hope that your weekend is also good.

Blessings to you from South Africa.

I hope you are moving to somewhere will you have more visitors to your garden.

Sadly not, my friend, as it is a much smaller garden enclosed by high walls. More like a courtyard.

!BEER

That's a shame. But you may be able to attract a few birds into it. Hopefully you will still be able to enjoy the surrounding countryside, even if you have to travel further.

Yes it is, but we will take our 20 flower pots with us and hopefully it will attract some sunbirds, as they love the flowers.

Thank you for your care and as usual we will make do my friend.

Have some !PIZZA
