We have pesky gophers in the back yard. I constantly see new holes...sigh...Our dog has caught 2 of them and is very interested in a couple of spots out back, but for 2 days now I haven't spotted any new holes. So, I'm hoping he got the last one.
We have a cottontail who comes to visit every now and then and a female roadrunner who comes every morning now. At first she scared off the doves, but now they tolerate her. They are too big for her, but she does catch a sparrow every now and then (NOT a pretty sight!)...She also digs for huge slugs in the dirt which I didn't even know were there! She is quite entertaining, but she is also cunning like a Velociraptor. I have seen her HIDE in the bushes and then rush out, scaring all the birds away (and catching a sparrow!) She delights in scaring the smaller birds.
I did our weekly shopping this morning: WalMart and Whole Foods and I was lucky to get out during their senior hours, so both stores were almost EMPTY! YAY! In & out in no time at all and without running into a lot of people! :-)
I MAY drive across town to COSTCO today. I'm getting low on bird seed and TP.
Until next time,
Cheryl ~~ Ripley and her bear about 2016. RIP sweet thing. I still miss her.
