A baby Blue Jay fell from the maple tree and decided
to take a nap.
I had to laugh at the antics of this baby squirrel

Black capped chickadee

After fattening up on the beans and tomatoes in my garden,
this groundhog had the nerve to rummage around under
the bird feeder
I had to have this tree removed before it split and
did some major damage to my sunroom, bedroom and me

The sunroom is now living up to its name.

I noticed this Red Lion amaryllis from 2005 in bloom in
the basement. It hadn't been watered in more than 2 years
Once the amaryllis was through blooming, the leaves
came along

A few shots of the flowers around the house.
