Throw my little squeaky toy so I can chase it and play with it. I like when the hoomins throw my toys and I can play keep away with them. I run around the coffee table and jump up on the sofa and love seat to keep the toy away from them. Click on me to make me big.
We haven’t noticed any quail chicks on our property, although we did see some several weeks ago on the other side of town. This evening, after getting out of the spa and while we were drying off, I saw a family of quail with two adults and three juveniles.

I couldn’t tell the gender of the little ones, but they definitely appear to be adolescents foraging with the mama and daddy quail. I was afraid we wouldn’t see any little ones but this evening we have.
After the dogs do their business, they are anxious to run up the driveway to get a treat from the Mama. I took this photo of the critters today with Cabela leading the pack. Click on the image to enlarge.
This little hummingbird and a couple of others showed up to take sips of nectar from our two feeders. Look at his tiny feet! Click on the image to enlarge.
Verna put out a hummingbird feeder a few days ago. The little hummingbirds have been coming around to check it out. Today I got this brief footage of one of the little guys helping itself to some of the nectar.
Yes, that’s a railroad lantern hanging above the feeder. $3 at Family Dollar. 🙂
I was up in the wash this morning stacking up a few river rocks to divert flash flood water around the little burm that our contractor constructed to protect the RV pull-through when the monsoons come. When I was up there, a very small (six inches in length) ground squirrel stood up to beg for a handout (I think). It was a bold little so-and-so, standing on hind legs about four feet away. I took a photo of it and got back to work. Click on the image to enlarge.
