Friday Fun, With Coffee and Little Things. #22

Good morning to all of you! Time for coffee and sitting on the deck to enjoy the beautiful morning! The sun has been shining all morning, the sky is an intense blue and it is quite warm. Especially on the deck which is in the sun right now. It can get quite hot on the deck when the sun shines directly on it.

Mica, the Red Squirrel is out here right now, in the walnut tree, chattering away. He is upset with something, though I have no idea what it is. Good, he has stopped now. They can be quite noisy at times. Could have been the neighbors cat he was scolding.

At least he warns everyone else that there is danger in the area. A little chipmunk has taken up the scolding now. Sounds like it is coming from where Skamper lives. I have not seen him around for a while now. But Pocket, GPS, Chester and Coffee are coming regularly now. Pocket and GPS are around the most.

I am including pics of them sitting on my knee. Unfortunately it was cloudy at the time so the color of their fur is not as bright as it should be. Looks a bit washed out. Pocket is definitely the largest of the chipmunks and he is the top chipmunk. All the others move out of his way, although Coffee will stand up to him most of the time.

This is Pocket, he is a bit on the chubby side. Sitting on my knee.

Chipmunks. Little things. But they have a huge personality and make friends easily with people. The ones here are Eastern Chipmunks, the largest of the chipmunk species. They are fun to have around, they like to play and crawl all over me.

Skamper1 and Rusty were my two friendliest chipmunks, but both are gone now. Chipmunks do not live very long. Pocket is my oldest chipmunk right now, this is his 4th summer. It is the third summer for Coffee.

This is GPS, he is one of the smallest of the group. Sitting on my knee.

Little things can bring a lot of happiness. Yet we often overlook little things as being not very important. Looks like the peanuts are gone once again so I must get some more for those little chipmunks. Have a fabulous Friday everyone and God bless!

Steve and Muffin.

      • Whew, that is hot! This morning it was 33 F, and snowing. Not usual for this time of year. We have the midnight sun and everything is growing fast. The rain/snow has stopped and it is warmer but still cool. All the tourists are wearing heavier jackets!!!

      • Yep, hot indeed, inside it was 105F, but it’s starting to cool off a bit now. The weekend should be just as hot, then Monday down to the low 80s. It does cool off at night though, down to 70.
        That is cold for June! We have had snow as late as June 8, but that is rare. I would be wearing a heavy jacket too!😂

      • This is unusually cold weather. We usually have sunny moderate wether in the 70’s and 80’s. It was a long winter and we always enjoy a beautiful short summer. Warm jackets are not needed until the snow stays on the ground. This melted.

  5. Ahhh…
    the little things are the best! Like coffee with friends, watching the squirrels (and chipmunks, although we don’t have any of those chubby guys here) and basking in the sun! We had a nice breeze blowing here on our back porch. Have a great weekend! And give Muffin a treat from Renee, would ya now for me? Thanks!😃 ☕️😎😸

    • Yes indeed, I love those little things! No breeze here today, would be nice to have one. Poor Muffin does not like this heat, she lies flat on the floor where she can feel the breeze from the fan! She meows thanks for the treat!😻 It’s 95 again today, two degrees cooler than yesterday. Inside it is 105 again!🥵 Same for tomorrow. I like it outside, but inside it gets a bit hard, especially for Muffin. Enjoy your weekend Renee!😊😸🌞☕☕
