It was sunny Friday, and Saturday morning. The daffodils recovered from the frost.
Cinnamon helped me, providing moral support, – or a distraction as I worked to clean the fountain. He is on the fence about 'helping.' Just beyond the fence are holes 4 a) and b). (There are usually two!)
Here are Fred's burrows. While I was working on the water fountain, I noticed Cinnamon going over to burrow #4. Fred had dug out some sand and grasses. Cinnamon had a good sniff. I thought that Fred was doing spring cleaning.
Then Cinnamon rolled around in the sand and debris.

I wondered why Fred wasn't working on burrow #4, off the edge of the septic bed. The skunk may have moved back in. Maybe holes 4 (a) and (b) aren't connected! It'd be clever to be beside the skunk for protection! I think the cottontail burrow is right nearby, as well.

Garbage is out, and it is raining. The snow tires come off today. We'll see what the week brings. I know the day will bring us rain. Sudbury has ice rain.
A good sign of the season change...snow tires off. Isn't it nice to ride along with the quietness now? Loved seeing the critters! Hope Mr. Cinnamon didn't pick up any odors from the sand he rolled in...but he knows how to be a clean cat.
ReplyDeleteYour critters are living on burrowed time. So to speak.
ReplyDeleteDaffodils are hardy.
