My Friend - Charly

His name is Charly - and can you tell which one is the "real" Charly?????

PAPA'S RAISED GARDEN

This is Dad's raised bed - it's finally growing. Over to the right of this is the corn, beans and a row of Zinnias. To the left is squash, potatoes, sunflowers and he is planning to plant some more Swiss Chard. In the raised bed he has tomatoes, green peppers, swiss chard, carrots, onions, leaf lettuce.

Early Morning Friend

On this beautiful, sunny morning, I stopped a minute to look out my kitchen window at our back yard. There sitting under the bird feeder, was my friend, the squirrel. He was eagerly chomping down the birdseed that had fallen on the ground - probably the sunflower seeds. When he finished eating he ran over to the pond for a drink. I quickly grabbed my camera and poked it out the blinds and snapped him. That is a hard thing to do because they sense when you are doing something close to them and they run away. This is the picture I took. I think he had gotten a drink and he was scratching his side.
