A SQUIRREL'S LIFE!

I just had to share with you what I saw in one hour's time of sitting in my backyard. First of all, I love feeding birds and squirrels in my yard!! And I usually don't mind when a squirrel eats the bird food; however, as you will see by these photos ... enough is enough!! So without further ado ... this is one hour of a squirrel's life in my yard ...

First off, he is seen eating in his own feeder ... (good boy!) ...

But wait ... there he is eating out of the bird feeder ...

Oh no, here he is eating out of another bird feeder ...

Oh my ... and here he is again eating out of yet another bird feeder ...

Oh finally! This is one feeder he couldn't get to ... see the finches eating?

Last night I was sitting in the family room and my husband points out the window to the squirrel feeder ... guess what was eating out of it? A rat!!! Isn't that just about the most disgusting thing?? I will have to find a way to get rid of that rat because I am NOT going to start feeding rats in my yard!!! LOL

Remember this?

Well, I added two baskets (painted them green) and then just put a couple of rolled up bath towels in the divided part on the bottom - wouldn't this be cute in a bathroom? I could see it full of rolled up green and white polka dotted towels!!!!

Oh, before I go ... a picture of Finn ... he is now almost 4 months old and very active!!! We just bought him a bubble machine at Target today .. he's not sure what to do with the bubbles! :-)

A TRIP TO THE CITY

Remember me???!!! Sorry I have been so invisible but it's called ... HAVING A PUPPY!!! Boy, they really do take up a lot of your time ... but I finally see light at the end of the tunnel ... Finn is now 3 1/2 months old and kind of potty trained. He weighed in at his vet visit yesterday and he is now 32 pounds!!! He's a big boy!

Guess what fun thing I did a couple weeks ago with my son, his friend and my nephew? Well, it involved being in bumper-to-bumper traffic trying to get onto the Bay Bridge ...

Then we finally got onto the bridge ...

See the SF skyline? If you look to your right (have to click on the photo) you can barely make out the Golden Gate Bridge ...

And we ended up here!

And what a great play WICKED is! Loved it! It was playing at the Orpheum Theater ... which was built in the 1920's. Very cool place!

I have also been getting ready for the next opening at the Room. I got this old record cabinet (it was an ugly brown ... forgot to take the before photo) at a local thrift store for just $4. And I have a pretty cool idea of what it can be used for ... wait and see!!!!
