Okay.....So It's Not QUITE A Zoo Out There!

(Table Decorations by 62Cards)

       Yesterday I mentioned to you that there was a lot of enjoyment of my backyard going on. Today I'll show you what I mean...But don't get thrown off by the zoo menagerie of table decorations above...even though a backyard full of those cuties wouldn't be bad!...No, I don''t 'QUITE' have a zoo in the backyard....YET! ^_^

       There was enough going on out there to make 'Baby Wuglyee' curious though! :-) You know how much 'Baby Wuglyee' loves sharing me with other objects of my attention! ^_^ Remember the whole conversation we had--> HERE?! 

      Even 'Baby Wuglyee' would approve of these guys enjoying the backyard though...

       Can you see him?!......Let me give you another angle...

      It's a squirrel...Well, I should say 'THEY' were squirrels! Hubby couldn't get a lot of good pictures of them. They move fast!!

      But we had a whole yard of them! It was as if somebody had put up a "Sale, Aisle 9!" sign! ^_^ I'm used to robins, hummingbirds, an occasonal cardinal or a blue jay. Even a skunk every once in a while. But a whole yard full of scurrying squirrels?!.....Unusual for my backyard!

       I hope this doesn't mean they know something we don't know, and that winter is coming sooner than we think!! O_O Rather than them hiding nuts for the winter, I'm gonna choose to think that maybe they were just so happy with the Fall weather, and my backyard, that they decided to go on a playful scavenger hunt just to see what they could find! ^_^

      And, of course, no scavenger hunt is any fun alone. So they enlisted a few 'play' buddies! LOL Even the neighbor cat was enlisted....

     ...but he didn't play along for long.....Cats have their own agenda. And usually it doesn't include playing well in groups! ^_^ But, thankfully, whatever the cat found he kept it to himself!
       I remember one day...a few years ago...when my friends and I were going door-to-door to talk to the neighbors about the Bible...we came across this house with a yard FULL of dead mice!! A yard full!!!....Ewwwwwwwwww!

      The lady of the house was very matter-of-fact about it. She said her cat loved her so much that he was always bringing her dead mice. O_0 ...Now that's love, huh?! But considering the amount of mice in the yard, we wondered what she was serving for dinner, or what kind of cat bed this neighborhood wandering cat was laying in at night that made him so in love with her that he would fill up the yard with them!!! 

      I should talk though. I do have a childhood memory of our cat dragging a big dead snake in the window!! LOL I don't remember what happened after that.......I think I blacked out! ^_^

      Okay...enough silliness!...'Baby Wuglyee' got his hat and scarf washed this weekend and he wants to go somewhere! :-)

       I may have to take him for a little spin...

      ...or I'll get hubby to! They've been 'best buds' lately. :-]

       I've got other things on my agenda...just like the cat. :-) I've got a talk to write, some studying to do, some reading, a nap.....of course! ^_^...and maybe, if there's still some daylight, I can do a little more crocheting on the new white scarf I started yesterday...

    It's just some leftover yarn I had laying around. And because of the bulkiness of it I haven't done anything with it. But I'm gonna make this scarf...if I have enough white to finish it! White scarves are not something that everybody crochets! So...leave it to me! :-)) There must be some winter brides out there somewhere! :-)

      ...Or maybe I'll just start another knitted hat. Yes, I said knitted. O_0 My other one I had in the shop...

      ...SOLD!! :-) And while I'm not that thrilled about doing another knitting project, this hat pattern wasn't hard at all. So I might actually enjoy it!...*gulp!*

       What are your plans today?! :-) {Don't forget to put entering my Giveaway for the lacy oatmeal colored afghan blanket on your list! :-) Click the picture of it in the right hand side bar for details.}

All My Plans Unfurled

With all my plans unfurled today,
and nothing urgent pressing me,
I might crochet another scarf
or have a steeping cup of tea.

I might watch an old movie,
or take a nap, just for a minute.
Or I might take out a book to read,
or jot a few nice words down in it.

When you don't have any children,
and no job to do from home.
You can stay in your pajamas,
and have hair you don't have to comb.

Yes, with all my plans unfurled,
there could be lots that I could do.
It's always true...I could be busy,
but kinda nice I don't 'have to'!
