Today was a day of rest from things like breaking down that wood pile in the garden.  Unfortunately, it was also another bad pain day for my husband.  With the weather getting warmer, he’s itching to get outside for a bit of a walk, but it’s not been working out lately. :-(

The outside cats were out in full force when I fed them this morning.  All the regulars were out.  Even The Hand came out, though she was still very stand-offish.

My going back and forth to put away the bowl I use for the cat food, then getting the deer feed, was too much for her, though.  She still didn’t go far, and watched me closely.  Can you see her?

I look forward to when she is comfortable enough to at least not run away from the food when we’re around.

Butterscotch, on the other hand, has no such qualms.

When she wants pets, she does get rather insistent!

Myself, I didn’t see a single deer, though they did come by.  One, I just missed.  Hungry Girl had been outside the window, while three squirrels were busily chasing each other through the branches, when Beep Beep suddenly made a flying leap into a tree after them, startling her away! :-D  My daughter did manage to get a couple of photos first, though.

I did notice a group of blue jays at the seeds and went over to get pictures, only to have them fly off into the trees.  They used to stay when I went to the window, but now they don’t.  I think something in the light has changed as spring progresses, and now they can see more movement through the reflections on the glass.

This was the best I could manage!

So uncooperative! :-D

My younger daughter and I got to take advantage of today being Community Day in Pokemon Go and went into town to play the game.  That was enjoyable few hours together. :-)

Then we got home, and found this.

Waiting for us.

Turns out my older daughter found it hidden away in the yard and left it for us to find.

It’s still there.

:-D
