They’re getting bolder, these ladies. Chomping on our fruit trees. Though it’s hard to be mad at them when it’s eight degrees outside.
When I opened the window to scare them off, this one leaped right over the fence like it was nothing.
What’s in your back yard?

Our back garden is protected from other animals by our cats.
Another cat occaisionally tries to come in, but our cats are very good at defending the territory, so they only get about a minute.
Yeah, our garden would be a lot safer if it had some guards. Interested in renting out a cat? 🙂
I have asked the cats: they like our sofa.
I haven’t a yard, but today was apparently a special day for visitors:

Cute! As the other commenter said, looks like a woodpecker.
