Visitors

As my camera and computer don't seem to be speaking to each other at the moment, I don't have any pictures to share.

However, as a good friend was compelled to remind me that I haven't added to my blog lately, I will at least write about visitors to Happinest Hollow!

My daughter came for a surprise visit from Whitehorse. I was out running errands and she phoned to tell me she was standing in my kitchen waiting for me! A lovely surprise and my first house guest. She only slept there two nights as she had use of Mum's apartment for part of the visit. The house was still roomy enough for both of us.

In addition to the buck Zeus (and an occasional girlfriend or two), I have had a couple of raccoons, a calico cat (who wants to catch my birds) and some new varieties of birds. In addition to all the regulars, a pair of goldfinches, a rufous hummingbird, a mourning dove, a yellow-rumped warbler and one that I have yet to identify have been coming around. And the other day, I was out in the field with Nova when a bald eagle swooped down and just missed catching a rabbit that was sitting in the grass about 30 feet away from me. I'm glad the eagle missed!

I will add bird and garden photos when I can.
