Crumbly Acres Fruits and Critters

 Aw, cherry tomatoes! 


The zucchini is coming along. I tried to figure out what the insect was, but it was too fast for me.


As far as I can tell,  we've 3 or 4 Freds out and about. Auntie Fred is tolerating a kit near her burrow. There were two on the lower deck burrow.



🦷 Trust Joe Brian to make me laugh. Apparently, I'm not too old for a visit from the tooth fairy. I've an appointment Monday. We shall see. I chipped my cracked tooth eating salmon and salsa salad. Seriously. We knew it was cracked. The options were a crown, root canal, or pulling it. 


This helps me drink water. Tis painful when cold hits it.

Everyone watching for danger!
Cinnamon watching the Freds.


This is Barry's trailcam, #75 was here.

And Barry himself gnawing on the branch! I don't know when it switched to photos. I do like watching their behaviour.



We've had a Butch Raccoon with a blond colouring. Here she is. Cinnamon was in the grass, and leapt out with speed and vigour!

   


 Fred is ticking off the Phoebe family!

Your tomatoes look yummy! Cute photos of Fred.
Take care, enjoy your day and the new week ahead.

ugh, I have baby snakes hiding out under the prodigious leaves of my zucs and squash in the heat. I'll not be tempted to go checking for fruit for awhile. Lots of tomatoes coming along, but nothing ripening yet.

Oh good. The Freds are well. From a recent comment I was wondering if they were still around and alright. Sorry about the wretched dental issue.

I am amazed that the critters haven't taken advantage of your tomatoes.

Your videos are great! And that garden is looking good. I feel your tooth issue. I have a cracked tooth under a crown and it's now got a cavity (don't ask me how) and needs to come out. The replacement option is a bridge, which is considerably more expensive. Time to make decisions. Good luck with yours.

Yum, garden tomatoes are the best. And soft, I hope your mouth isn't too painful.

I'm guessing Barry doesn't want to be in the movies. Linda in Kansas

I bet those tomatoes are delicious! Oh Fred, you little rascal you. Good luck with your tooth and thank goodness for husbands with a sense of humor.

You are being watched very closely when the Freds are about.

Oh yum, cherry tomatoes!
You certaonly have an abundance of wildlife around you. I admit, I am glad we do not, or I would never be able to garden like I do. Yours provide you with endless pleasure though.
