It is pleasant doing work outside, again. The Bluebird nest box was sanded. I rehung it Tuesday morning. Phoebe is looking for a nesting spot, as well as the robins.
In the front yard, a doe decided to help herself to the bird seed. This will come down in May, or whenever bear season begins. – April 10th, the snow is gone, except for behind the house where I would shovel off the upper deck.

On my walk I spotted a Compton tortoiseshell. Archive photo...

📱We've had a busy Wednesday for old farts. New phone, and a new satellite box.
We've Shaw, who've been bought my Rogers. We are NOT thrilled. What we liked about Shaw is they were a smaller company, with very responsive reps. This is not what we've heard about Rogers.
🌳 The cats are happy with the changing season. We can open the Muskoka Room door, and leave it open. Nutmeg loves going out there, Cinnamon less so. He's a gentle lad, and likes the sun.
There is only one problem. I thought 😼OREGANO cat, visiting for a couple of years, had been around. It seems as if it is a different cat. I'm calling him Pepper, as he is quite black. I know black cats roam more, and this is not good. I was playing this video ↓ and Cinn roared to the window. At first I thought it Oregano, but it is a black cat, as the Crumbly Acres camera shows.

...we have squirrels at our feeders, but not deer.
What a beautiful butterfly. Laughed at the doe eating the bird seed. Really intent gal! That black cat is gorgeous and looks well fed. Too bad it doesn't have a collar.
Fun to see the deer standing on her tippy-toes. The Compton tortoiseshell is such a pretty butterfly. An interesting video on how well it is camouflaged. In fact all your videos are enjoyed, thank you.
Definitely Pepper wants to be friends!!! Very wet and slippery down in the beyond, good idea to have what I call " Restricted Access".!!! Your days might be slowly warming up, we haven't had a very cold morning for 2 weeks now, the firewood is waiting.
Any people from Rogers that I have talked to on the phone have always been quite nice so I hope you have good luck with them. Plus they all have been in Canada unlike Bell where their phone people seem to be all over the world and know nothing about what is going on here.
Enjoy your time outside. I have a huge weakness for black cats (and we almost always have one).
Miss Doe must think bird food is close enough to deer food. Pepper is probably living with a neighbor, and he just likes to roam. Glad he wasn't interested in checking out the mice.
I hope the cats come to terms. I'm awfully glad I don't have to worry about bears and my bird boxes (though it might be a lure for the deer!)
We have cheeky squirrels at our bird feeder but you have a doe!
I do like the (old) photograph of the Compton tortoiseshell.
All the best Jan
Pepper is quite striking.
Hello,
It is neat seeing the deer at your feeder. Pretty butterfly!
Take care, have a happy day and a great weekend!
I wonder what happened to Oregano. It can be a tough life.
I have strong opinions about free ranging cats allowed to roam. I like the wild birds too much to approve of this.
The deer are persistent lol
