Apple Hog, Whistle Pig, Ground Hog, you name it

 "Lynn has been frustrated with her lack of eatin' apples this year. Oh the 2 trees were loaded early on but the critters outside have a yen fur them too."



"We gots the squirrels and the deers and then here came
the hog.  He's a chub now as he has eaten so many apples
and working on acorns now."


"The squirrels and crows just pick 'em and toss 'em after a 
bite er two.  Then chubs has his pick afore the deer herd
stampedes thru."


"Soon as the apples stopped fallin' furom the sky, he quickly
found the acorns were rainin' down like manna furom 
Whistle Pig heaven."


"Now just give me a bucket full of my
crunchies and I'll let Lynn have the apples."


Here's a short short video of some of the 
hundreds of wild honey bees I am so happy to 
see this year.  This is one flower head of dozens
I have on 9 sedum plants.  Every flower head has
had many many bees.


Above is a Great Spangled Fritillary butterfly.
No Monarchs new or old flying by.  Just the 11
that hatched and flew off into the rains of the South.

And the other good news is our Eastern Blue Birds
fledged 4 nest boxes of babies this year.  Could be 
any where from 16 to 20 babies.




Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment.
It is much appreciated.
