One of Buster's boys - it must cross the highway to visit. |
I woke Buster up, lazy bum sleeping in the Lazy Boy chair. He gave me a bit of a look, "I've was out late with the boys!" Eventually, he thought it would be OK to go outside and he gave a stretch or two, and ambled towards the door. I let him out, he'd be waiting for me. Off I went to look for the Daisy.
Daisy had been out all morning (i.e., 4:30 a.m.), she had just come in and konked out in Oliver's room. She was pretty snoozy, but I told her we were going walkies. I gave her a scratch on the cheek, a bit of a pet, and off I went. I figured she'd just sleep. Dorah was not on the cat tree, but out and about looking for that dratted chipmunk.
Cannot believe the numbers! |
We saw berries, heard the birds sing, Daisy lay await in the grass to pounce on her siblings (but didn't fool anyone)! Daisy kept up with me, Dorah a bit behind, with Buster taking his own sweet time. Eventually, we lost Buster somewhere between the frog pond and the wetland. I don't know if he had a bad experience along there, or has a favourite place to stop.
The girls and I headed off to the far end of the lot, following the shore of the wetland. We found some deer bones, a squirrel carcass, a wasp nest lying on the forest floor, bright orange mushrooms, lots of blooming marsh plants, as well as berries, a possible house for some critter, but mostly horizontal fallen trees that the cats love to run across. When we made it back, Dorah was exhausted and lay down on the asphalt in her doggie pose.

I'd enjoy walking in the woods where there's so much to see and photograph...but those deer flies! EW!
WoW, what a great place to walk!! Nature is just amazing, isn't it?? So much to see, so calm and peaceful!!
That's a lot of bugs! Nice scenery and nature.
Walking with friends, and apart from the bugs, a wonderful outing, tuckered out after all that energetic running in the grasses. Lovely berries. Cheers, Jean.
Your cats are far too adorable, of course!
Beautiful pictures! Your cats look so cool following you all over. Yes, that's a lot of flies!
You are a fun companion showing off your North American bounty!
