This morning while hanging the bird feeders, this little antelope ground squirrel hopped up on a branch and commenced begging for a handout. This frequently happens in our back yard. Of course, I tossed some birdseed his way. Click on the image to enlarge.
Now that the weather is getting a little cooler, I like to curl up in a blankie that the Mama puts in the dryer to heat it up. She took this picture of me in one of the blankies all nice and warm. Click on me to make me big.
Bob and I were shopping in the old downtown area yesterday. Across from one of the shops on Tegner, I noticed the town had put up some Christmas decorations on the street lights. On the top of the light fixture, there was a cowboy hat reminiscent of that worn by the town’s founder, Henry Wickenburg.

That’s one of the things we love about our town. It, and the townspeople, have character. I remember seeing the hats from last year, but they are a relatively new item in front of the courthouse where the bust of Henry (inset in the photo) has been placed.
Since we’re not going away this year, we’re looking forward to spending the Christmas Holidays here in tow, enjoying the character of our town.
The Mama and the Daddy had turkey weekend. Bay Bay and I ate so much that all we felt like doing was to take a nap. I like napping on the love seat by the window. Click me to make me big.
In the fall, I like to decorate with the traditional red, orange, yellow and brown colors to match the colors taken by some of the foliage at this time of the year. I got some yellow and orange daisies at the flower shop this week and they are in a vase on the sofa table. Click on the image to enlarge.
We’re breaking in the new electric smoker this afternoon. Getting it seasoned with mesquite chips/smoke. We have yet to smoke our first entree on this one. Our old charcoal-powered smoker did pretty good, so this one could do as well plus being easier to use and clean. I have some pork and fish in the freezer that will be the first experiments.
