We looked out the window one day to see the neighborhood cat sleeping on the bench in our backyard. The cat is a bit jumpy, and won’t let me get anywhere close, so I can’t read the tag to get its name. Our yard is completely fenced, so this is a nice quiet, safe space to sleep if you’re a cat.
Unless these guys show up:
We’ve seen deer on the cemetery side of the fence before, but this was the first time we’ve seen some in our yard. The chain-link fence you see was put up by the cemetery (as far as we know). Our fence (to the left and right) is wood (as seen in the cat photo above). Either way, the fence is 5-6 feet high, and it’s not like these two crawled underneath somehow.
We had one hummingbird feeder outside the kitchen window, and it gained so much traffic that Denise added a second one a little farther away. These hummingbirds are very entertaining to watch. They will chase each other around and chirp at each other loudly (surprisingly loud for such tiny birds).
This was taken at Minto-Brown Island Park, where we walk all the time. We think we’ve heard an owl near the house, but haven’t seen one there yet.
