These are my critters for

Saturday's Critters.

Thursday night we were awakened by a

very loud screeching in our back woods.

Whatever it was, it carried on for a good twenty minutes or so.
A Critter moment for sure!

Getting back to sleep wasn't happening for any of us.

I wondered if it was a screech owl, or mating cats,
or fox who have been frequenting the neighborhood.

 

Mister Garden House checked things Friday morning

but not too much out of the ordinary.

Although he did find some large animal foot prints

and scratches on some of the trees.

 

Chalk it up to a restless night.

Sleep called me early last night

and I enjoyed a full night of quiet slumber!

A few days ago I was doing one of my
"favorite things"
of reading a book on the porch.
All of a sudden the weather changed from windy to a quiet stillness.
The back yard was a buzz of chirps . . .
The sounds and sights were such a treat.
Cardinals, Orioles, Pine Siskin, Chickadee, Mourning Dove
Purple Finch, Gold Finch, Blue Jay, Sparrows, Chipmunks, Squirrels
and more, it was a buzz of chirps and flitting.
Then all of a sudden I happened to sneeze 
 and the backyard critters hurried and scurried off somewhere else.
Sitting quietly, listening and watching make me very happy.
It's the little things in life . . .
