For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning everyone and Happy Monday! The sky is so amazingly blue this morning, the sun is shining brightly, the birds are singing, it’s a great morning! Before I forget, I wanted to mention something. Several people have discovered they are no longer following my blog so they have to refollow. And it can happen many times. That’s not me doing that, I really don’t know what is going on. Also some people are coming to my site and they end up with a page that says I have deleted my site, which is not true, as you can see. Again, I have no idea why this is happening and WP is no help with this at all.
Mainly because the problem doesn’t happen when they check it. So I just wanted to let everyone know, it’s not me kicking people off my blog, it’s something that is just happening for no reason. I actually saw Coffee yesterday, he’s one of my chipmunks, but he didn’t stay around long. Then this morning Chester, another chipmunk, showed up, but unfortunately so did Jasmine. So Chester took a flying leap off the deck. Jasmine was here yesterday as well, and Leap showed up.
What a chase! But rather than fight, Leap took a big leap off the deck too! Jasmine has taken over as top squirrel now, she even chases Jasper away. And no one wants to challenge her in an actual fight, they just run away as fast as they can! They have all been in a fight with her, but once is enough apparently. It’s amazing how quickly she rose to top spot. And yet she’s the smallest squirrel around here.
It’s a bit cool sitting on the deck this morning, but it’s nice anyway, though there wasn’t much bird activity this morning, not even singing birds, it was actually quite quiet out there except for the crows cawing. We had some thunderstorms yesterday afternoon, not much rain though, but there was severe thunderstorm warnings out for our area. Muffin agree with that. She stayed by my feet the whole time, her new favorite spot when storms are around. None of the storms were that bad though, at least not right here. Looks like it will be nice today so perhaps I can walk down to the river again later. Have a wonderful day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

That’s bad, why WP behaves that way π€ . Hmm, you should check the wires again, rats!. maybe ! π. Jasper is back and so is Jasmine and other little critters and fight and chase π . That was a nice view to start your day π Have a beautiful day π

Yes, Jasmine and Jasper were friends, but she probably has her babies now so no males are welcome! Rightly so, the males will often kill the babies.π³π¬
