Singing in the rain !!

The first three pictures were taken AFTER a drenching rain. Five pictures of our potluck supper under an improvised shelter. Last pic shows weak sunshine less than one hour after sheets of water dripping from the roof. ~~ At Concord, North Carolina--only forty-three miles from JAARS--it was my first camp out in almost a year.

I don't know how he does it !!

That crafty little critter got to a bird feeder hanging from the eave of the roof. Furthermore, he got beyond the "baffle" and was feasting on sunflower seeds in another bird feeder. Too bad I don't have the acrobatics on video. The raccoons, however, are delighted with the squirrel food!!

Mystery solved !!

Glued to the TV re: Anniversary

I watched the events unfold as our Nation remembered the anniversary of that horrific day ten years ago.

God Bless America

Glued to the TV during prime time (7:00-10:00 PM) watching continuing coverage. Actually, sitting on the edge of my chair, very often with tears streaming down my face.

Thanks for the memories !!

A strange change of topic: Long term memories. ~~ Bob Hope is associated with the song "Thanks for the memories."

In a recent exchange of e-mail messages, I told a friend that something I saw on television jogged a memory from six decades ago. This is what I wrote:

I have been praising the Lord (over the years) for a good memory. Yesterday (last night) I caught a program (Antiques Road Show) and one piece of memorabilia was tied to Jack Dempsey. My mind flashed back sixty years to LaPine, Oregon, where a next door neighbor lived and he had been a "sparring partner" of Jack Dempsey. I haven't thought of them for six decades. First, I remembered their last name "Powell," then I recalled "Everett" and seconds later "Hattie." I was so shocked that the information was still in the computer memory bank of my mind.

Quoting from Psalm 139:14, 17: "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.... How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!"

Out of curiosity, you might like to visit the web site of Jack Dempsey. Many of you will say "Who's he??" Check and see.

Two thumbs up -- all OK !!

The tropical storm "Lee" is out of our area. All OK here!!

Tornado warning in my area !!

I'm hearing thunder. The weathermen are discussing a possible tornado on the ground within a few miles of Waxhaw / JAARS.

Foiled !!

Notice the two new black, steel, "baffles" to stop the squirrel(s) from reaching the bird feeders. Purchased, and installed, yesterday, this was my first opportunity to observe and photograph the attempt.... Moments earlier, I watched the squirrel climb up the brick wall planning to get to the big feeder (like September 1st) but the feeder had been moved back to the Shepherd's hook. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." He kept trying..., I kept trying...!! And the winner is...??

A Squirrel Tale

Twelve worst coffee drinks

Are you tired of my blogs (obsession?) about the squirrels, and bird feeders? Here's a message that grabbed my attention (like squirrel-friend caught my attention last night). If you are a coffee drinker, visit the message (with delicious pictures) regarding twelve worst coffee drinks.

And the winner is....

Almost as good as the Olympics!! Floor acts and aerial acts.

Oops, maybe I should have compared them to a circus?!

I have no idea how the squirrel got up to the bird feeder hanging from the eave. I believed the large feeders were safe after I moved them from the Shepherd's Hooks to the eave of the roof. I was shocked when I saw him five feet from the ground!! Squirrel-friend let me get close, gave me a big grin, and said (again) "I'm the boss." ~~~ From the balcony, a Cardinal chirps. From the sidelines, a bunny wonders if he can join the show.

Granted, the pictures are not very good (too dark). 1) The scene is back-lit; 2) I couldn't use flash because some (most) of the pictures have the glass patio door between me and the "performers."
