The Demon and the Squirrel
SpoonfulOSugar posted a blog entry in Adventures with a Ladybird Herd - and other tales from the North
I saw some bright yellow goldfinches earlier, so I stepped out to see if I could get a few photos. They flew away, but I saw a squirrel at the bottom of the feeder. Then I changed the focus. Oh my! That squirrel is mighty foolish. What is it thinking?! (Why didn't I notice it before?!) So I moved a bit and got a couple more similar shots, but without the obstructions. What I didn't expect was what happened next. Oh no! Run, squirrel! Apparently the squirrel has more guts than I do. Demon overlord is disgruntled by the lack of respect. Squirrel was unfazed, so Demon slunk off to investigate something smaller and more easily intimidated. -
It's Monday

Monday. In the northlands. May friggin-16th. What was pretty when it appeared in December is now just ANNOYING. All the plants are back indoors. I won't even put them out today - it's too cold. For some, that means re-acclimating later in the week. *sighs* On the good news side, the cucumbers are starting to form their true leaves: They'll eventually be going here: And I went ahead and transplanted basil on Friday: It looks like three more nights in the 30s and then we *MAY* be ready for warmer temps. I am *SEVERELY* disappointed in Mother Nature right now.
