HAPPY FALL, YA'LL!!

There's a reason for the 2 pictures
I've chosen for the first day of Autumn!

The first one is 'Joe, the Crow!'

We have a family of 4 crows that fly onto our driveway when we call them.

All I do is step outside & say, 'Hey, Joe!', and here they come.

This happens at least once, & usually twice every day. Sometimes, if we're not paying attention , they station themselves in nearby trees & 'Caw, Caw, CAW!' until we go out & toss them some raw peanuts.

For a long time, Joe came all by himself. Then he decided he trusted us enough to bring his new family. The group of four started coming when 2 of them were just little more than babies. Mr. & Mrs. Joe would take peanuts to the younger ones & feed them. This went on for months, then finally, all four started flying in together & each getting their own peanuts.

Then, of course, here are two of my chipmunk pets.

This is Smoky & Jumper.

(Couldn't get the whole gang of them together for a portrait,

so these two will have to do!)

They're wishing you a whole peck of cool & beautiful days!

HAPPY FALL, YA'LL!!
