It runs right past the stone and between the two tufts of grass, from our shed to the steps leading onto our back deck, on the railing of which is perched our squirrel feeder. There has been a squirrel apparently living under our shed for most of the past year. I think it is probably very near to whe...

The ground is too warm for it to stick but it's still kind of pretty and reminded me of these pictures from last weekend. Last Friday and Saturday we got a whole bunch of snow. In just a few hours on Friday night the world was transformed from drab greys and decaying greens to fluffy whiteness. Saturday morning had that wonderfully bright feeling tha...

Of course they are always interested in any space that is normally on the other side of a closed door but this was a little different: they spent all of breakfast time on Wednesday crouched in front of the door staring at it. We just thought it was funny until I went to check on my tomatoes* and found this. Nibble, nibble.<br /...

We've seen him around the neighbourhood a few times, mostly playing with the outdoor toys of the dog that lives across the street. He ran away just after I took this picture and I felt a little bad about scaring him off when he'd just settled into a nice cozy spot in the sun but I don't really want a fox feeling that comfortable in my yard and ...

The noise from my camera disturbed him a bit at first but all he did was yawn and settle into a new position. He stayed like this until the sun left his spot.</p> Shelley Mon, 30 Jul 2012 10:23:02 +0100 Our Yard Animals http://inapeanutshell.com/archive/ollie-and-fred.html <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.inapeanutshell.com/images/ollie_and_fred_1.jpg" alt="" /></p><br/><p>Olivia and Frederick if you want to use their full names.<br /><br />We had to take Abby into the animal hospital last night because of a reaction to her shots on Monday and while we were there we got to see a newly arrived litter of kittens. We were told they were nine weeks old, immunized and micro chipped and all ready to be adopted out. We thought about it over night and calle...

They're from a few weeks ago. The squirrel in question is about two thirds the size of the adult squirrels we see at our feeder and I suspect is still a young guy. He was not as worried about me as the bigger squirrels tend to be and let me get quite c...

I feel like there is still so much stuff I want to do before going back to work tomorrow. I'm still behind in my 10 Dresses project (and a little unsure I'll manage to catch up) but my sewing room is not nearly as tempting as the garden right now.<br /><br />It is so much fun to be outside in the sun putting in plants and turning soil. I bought some c...

There were lots of mosquitos and, far better, lots of dragonflies. We usually see blue-green dragonflies and these red and black ones were something new. One followed us around for a while (probably taking advantage of our cloud of mosquitos) and then landed on Rob.

I&rsquo;ve been wanting to make some of these since I saw the tutorial on Moonstitches a few weeks ago but I just didn&rsquo;t get around to it. Now that I&rsquo;ve made a few I can&rsquo;t wait to find some different fabrics and make more. They go so quickly and they are so cute!<br /> <br />I dug out all the fabrics in my stash that seamed to be the... Shelley Wed, 19 Dec 2007 19:22:02 +0100 Sewing Green Brown Animals
