"Hello..."

Photobucket

My candlestick phone arrived yesterday!! YaY!!

Man, I tore into that box like a monkey on a cupcake. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this Crosley telephone. It's very well made. It has some weight to it too. I'd say a good 3 lbs.
After I hooked it up, I impatiently waited for someone to call so I could test it out. Sure I could have called someone and told them to call me back. But that would have taken the fun out of it. So I waited... and waited. Finally! ***Ring***Ring****

It even has the old fashioned ring to it. I ran over and answered, "Hello."

It was Steve the Chipmunk.

Nah. It was really my husband. I'm just making sure you're paying attention. **giggle**
Happy Saturday!!!

All this time I thought Bob the Woodchuck...

lived under our old brooder house. Apparently "Bob" is really "Bobbie" because I caught her two lil' young'uns having a picnic inside my rustic barn wood flower box. They were chowing down on my lovely petunias I planted last week.

Photobucket

Chewed 'em down to nubs. The only thing missing was the red and white check tablecloth.
Who knew woodchucks could climb???

Photobucket

As soon as they saw me walk towards them, they each did a swan dive right into the hole in the ground below. (Very similar to a Bugs Bunny move I saw once, minus the orchestrated music.)

Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me. But one had an iPhone on him. I'm pretty sure he snapped a pic of my reaction to what they had done. Which is probably why I heard faint giggling as I walked back to the house.

First chipmunks bandits, now the furry Doublemint Twins. Tomorrow, a deer will probably hit me with a paint ball.

Enjoy nature.

What Does a Red Door Mean?

Photobucket

A red door means “welcome” in an old early American tradition.

Photobucket

If a family had a red front door, tired travelers traveling by horse and buggy would know that the home was a welcoming place to rest.

Photobucket

They would be able to spend the night there.

I decided I'm going to paint our front door red... again. (I painted it red when we first moved in, but painted it black about 5 years ago.) I'm even going to paint the storm door red too. I just need to find the perfect shade.
