For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning everyone! It’s a beautiful morning out here. At 4 it was clear, no wind, the birds were singing loud and cheerful, just so nice. The clouds are now moving in once more and it looks like a day of showers and thunderstorms is ahead of us. Muffin isn’t going to like that too much. The squirrels have just found the peanuts, they were a little late getting here this morning which is odd.

So the fighting between them is once again the loudest part of the morning. And they can get loud. Hmm, seems they have both managed to get a peanut and they are staying apart just enough that they don’t fight, but they continue to chatter while they eat. Amazing how they can chatter and eat at the same time. One of the gulls was here bright and early this morning, I should name that one, he is always the first one here, likely a non breeder.

Then Sir Henry showed up so I brought more food for him. He was sitting on the roof when I brought the food out and the first gull came down for more. First time I have seen gulls fight so much! Both left so I made sure the crows didn’t get the food while I waited to see if either would return. Only took a few minutes and Sir Henry returned for his breakfast. Guess the first gull won’t try that again anytime soon.

Today I’m just showing some pics of places along the river that I enjoy. It is beautiful all along that river, so many great places to sit and enjoy the scenery. I just put out some more peanuts after the squirrels had gone so maybe the chipmunks would get some. I was wrong, the squirrels obviously heard me and are back again, eating and chattering at each other. At least they both have a peanut anyway. Even with the noisy squirrels and lack of sunshine it is still a beautiful morning. I hope you all have a wonderful day and God bless!

Hi everyone! Muffin here! I back with another post finally. I only going to do short post this evening. Just share some fun stuff that happen around here at times. Like other day, my human decide to lie down after his walk and suddenly there big commotion outside. The crows are going wild! So I jump up fast, pounce on my human, to make sure he awake and not miss the excitement and he jump up fast too, almost knock me off bed! He run for living room, but he run too slow for me so I zoom past him and when I do that he start waving arms all over the place, make odd noise then bang head against door. Very strange behavior.
Then he stagger around holding head and doing his human purring and he forget about box on floor. So he kick box then start waving arms all around again like he trying to fly. He try to fly a lot, but never work, down he goes and lands on box crushing it and bumps little table with lamp on it and lamp start to fall. Oh, should have seen look on my human’s face and he try to move and catch lamp before it fall on floor, or maybe fall on my human’s head. That would not be good, his head already sore. But he catch lamp no problem though he have to turn himself into weird shapes to do it.
Bravo to my human! Oops, I forget he put insulator where I like to sit, he say it look nice in sun. Only give little bump to insulator, but it go flying. My human try flying again too, not good, he not watch where he go and hit head second time now on bottom of table, then he fall flat on floor holding head and purring again. Insulator land on floor but not break. Crows still cawing wildly and my human get up and come quickly to window, but he forget about insulator on floor and he kick it with toes. Insulator go rolling across room and my human do happy dance on one foot while holding other foot. By the time he get to window all excitement gone. More excitement inside than outside anyway!
Then other morning he went to get cup of coffee and while he do that I jump up on table and accidentally knock something on floor, but it not break. My human turn around to look while pouring coffee, not good idea, end up pouring coffee on foot! He almost drop whole pot of coffee! Then he jump around on one foot again doing happy dance. Guess that help it feel better because he always does that. Very strange behavior. Good thing he have me around to help him. Now this part hard to do without my human knowing about it. But tomorrow, Tuesday, June 23 is my human’s birthday. He do nice thing for me on my birthday with big party here for me. I want to do big party for him too. So when we have our coffee time, please everyone come by and say happy birthday to my human! We make this biggest coffee time yet! Don’t forget everyone! Thank you! That all for this post, have fun week!
Muffin.
