Did someone say peanuts!!
sharing with...
where you share 5 random facts about you,
your day,
your pets, your kids, whatever
your pets, your kids, whatever
1. I have limited mobility, because of Multiple Sclerosis, and I can't get out and about much these days, so...
2. The critters that visit my yard, provide a lot of entertainment, and give me great joy.
3. We are spending a fortune on peanuts though, and Hubbers has suggested a monthly peanut budget.
4. My neighbours are not happy with my menagerie. Nor do they appreciate my "natural" environment, aka weedy yard, that attracts so many critters and bees...and cute little mice and yes, skunks at night.
5. Said neighbours have been seen rolling their eyes, and shaking their heads, while watching me hang out my window to get photos of my yard critters.

Oh, they are all SO adorable, Karen, and your captures are fantastic as always! Hope you have a beautiful weekend!!
ReplyDeleteyou would be a good fit in my 'neighborhood'. :) LOVE these photos, especially the black squirrel and the folded-armed gray. SO cute!
ReplyDeleteand you keep enjoying your yard. i dare say, the skunks might be a bit intrusive, though. :)
I wish you were my neighbor! No problem for me. I have never seen a black squirrel; how cool!
ReplyDeleteKeep on doing what you are doing, Karen! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove this! And cool capture of the Black Squirrel. Aloha
ReplyDeleteLet 'em roll their eyes! :). I love these photos and the expressions on the animals's faces. And a yard that's a little wild and therefore attracts wildlife is better than a sterile, overly manicured yard any day of the week! So there! :D
ReplyDeletewe are twins!!
ReplyDeletemy neighbors don't love my whisle blowing...at the squirrels and at the ducks in my swimming pool!!
it was cheaper to put 2 kids thru college, then to supply my birds with peanuts ;)
i'm a Virginian, of course we have peanuts. which due you prefer ... salted, a sweet, or plain? ( :
ReplyDeleteWoW! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, RW & SK
Ma che bella serie di animaletti tutti simpatici ma il primo piĆ¹ di tutti! complimenti! ciao Cri : )
ReplyDeleteWonderful critter shots!!!!
ReplyDeleteHa-ha, great shots! Especially of the begging squirrels.
ReplyDeleteSo cute...all lined up ready for their hand-outs! But yea...those peanuts are pretty pricey! I'd blow a raspberry at the neighbors...live and let live!
ReplyDeleteWow these waiting for peanuts photos are great
ReplyDeleteThat black squirrel is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOh I could be your neighbour:) Awesome shots. Happy Thanksgiving Karen. Hug B
ReplyDeleteReally?!!!!!! Come on, these critters are SO CUTE!! I would love to have them over. :) Great captures!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!! I love how perfectly perched the grey squirrel is!!
ReplyDeleteI hear you. We now buy birdseed in 20 kilo bags and green apples (for the birds) are a permanent fixture on our shopping list.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, people here have complained about the birds we attract. And the vermin they insist we attract.
And I don't care - watching the birds gives me IMMENSE pleasure. No matter what my body is doing (or not doing) that day.
As soon as I started to scroll the photos peanuts came into my mind right away. :)
ReplyDeleteCute post and cute critters! Your neighbors don't know how to enjoy nature at it's best!
ReplyDeleteWe can live right next to each other, as I do pretty much the same things as you, including limited mobility. Although in my neighborhood, my area still considers better than the others :-)
ReplyDeleteI love all your shot...
Awesome pictures! Loved the blue jay picture! Laughed about the peanut budget! Following you now!
ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle a little about the peanut budget - wow, that sounds like a lot of peanuts. I'm sorry that your neighbors don't seem to be terribly understanding. I enjoy watching critters, too - and you got some fun shots!
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos Karen. All very cute little critters. I love them all!
ReplyDeleteFantastic images Karen,the raccoon has a splendid richly coloured coat.
ReplyDeleteWe too keep a semi-wild garden but the biggest problem in the city is cats,they view our space as their private bird watching territory.
Keep up the good work!
Happy weekend,

Cute critters and photos! I am sure they appreciate the peanuts. My neighbors probably feel much like yours do. I can see them rolling their eyes! LOL! Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Looking straight into the camera.
ReplyDeleteThe first one has a threatening look! :)
Adorable fotos

peanuts, peanuts! what a fun series. i have a few of the same critters who stop by for sunflower seeds.
ReplyDeleteAll those hungry mouths and no peanuts! Shame. Nicely done Karen.
ReplyDeletePeanut budget?!!
ReplyDeleteLike photo #3 a lot.
Happy Thanksgiving Karen :o)
Nie martw siÄ sÄ siadami, podziwiaj dalej swoich slicznych goÅci w ogrodzie. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteDo not worry about the neighbors, admire on their lovely guests in the garden. Yours.
They are cute. You are in such a fantastic place.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots of nature's critters, squirrels, birds, raccoons !
ReplyDeletepsl don't worry about the neighbors ~ they don't 'pay your bills' or put bread and butter on your table ~ enjoy each moment ^_^ ~ carol (A Creative Harbor)
I think your neighbors are just jealous of your free spirit Karen -- love that squirrel on the deck "just hoping" for a peanut. :) xo
ReplyDeleteThose cute critters can brighten your days, right?
ReplyDeleteAdmire your shots.
Hope you feel better each day, Karen.
I love that we can have so many species of wildlife in the our yards!
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the grey squirrel is adorable ;)
Happy Thanksgiving to you.
Great shots and those squirrels are adorable.
ReplyDeleteCutest gang ever! I love that black squirrel.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots of your visitors! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a black squirrel - so cool!
ReplyDeleteI would love all those critters in my yard! too cool. Have a nice rest of your day :)
wonderful montage of your free loading menagerie!! stoney is especially cute!
ReplyDeletedont worry about the neighbors, they obviously forgot that the critters were already there a very long time before the houses were ever built!
maybe you can should your peanuts in bulk, wholesale? *LOL*
Bah humbug to your neighbors, I love your critters. It reminds me of my backyard except there are cats too. It's worth all those peanuts to have this kind of entertainment.
ReplyDeleteaww, you're so talented with your camera!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! Nothing better than critters. I must get some peanuts!!!!
ReplyDeleteLes is right, we`d better buy in bulk. These bugger`s are going to cost us a small fortune! Great pic`s of the little mooches.
ReplyDeleteWell, Karen, you and I would make fine neighbours as we think along the same lines. :))
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteIf they were the right kind of neighbors, they'd pitch in toward the peanut budget. I would if I lived near you! Wonderful pictures, thank you for sharing them. Your critters have such great personalities. (It might be the peanuts, but I think it's because of the great photographer.)
I'd love to be your neighbor and I'd be hanging out window for photos, too! When bird seed got too expensive to feed 60 or 80 wild ducks in our pond, Hubby suggested chook, I mean, chicken pellets that can be bought in larger quantities and were gobbled up just as happily. Maybe there's something like that at your garden center that might be cheaper than peanuts. Just a thought.....
