Other Critters

The other morning, I saw two young deer at the bottom of my acreage.  Luckily, even though I didn’t have my camera to take a picture, I saw them.  I’ve also had several encounters with a bevy of pheasants who seem to roam between my ditch and the field across the road.  Over the weekend, I glanced out my window and saw one of them in my yard.  They are such gorgeous birds!

Later in the day, I looked out my window and had a “what the heck” moment.

I do not usually see squirrels on the tin roof of the barn.  I have no idea what it was looking for in the gutter.

Even later in the day, I got a snap from my nephew.  Then I got a call from my mom, so when I answered her call it was with, “Let me guess. You have a kitten.”

My nephew found this little one in his yard and rescued it from certain death with the rain and cold and how thin it is.  I had to take my rabbit cages in for her to use.  I tell you, those two rabbit cages I connected for Mama Phoenix all those years ago, have been very handy.  They make a perfect kitten home.

Anyhow, my mom has the baby while it’s recovering and then I don’t know where it’s going.

It took a nap in my arms.

But I know I am not getting another cat.
