2 Weeks Ago . . .

Drought has been hard on all creatures great and small . . .
eating instead of stashing away for future enjoyment.



Baby robin surveying the situation . . . Ken & me on the patio.

Blamed the squirrels for digging EVERYWHERE in my shade garden.
The culprit?  Redheaded woodpeckers! 
Had 6 in my yard!  I don't recall seeing them feeding on the ground before. 
Sorry, not very close pictures as VERY flighty birds.
