Animal Farm???

Do we look like a home for wayward animals??? So far, since Spring we have housed a plethora of ants, a scratchy little mouse, and a really odd squirrel.

She likes to perch on the windowsill of the large window above our front door. Then we saw her at our little plum tree eating the plums. And, now she has taken to hanging out on our front railing. This morning Shelly was eager to let me know that the squirrel (named Scratchy) was back and resting on the railing again. So for those who are interested, here she is on our front porch railing:

No wonder you can always get free refills of iced tea from the $2.00 glass you ordered!

Finally, the girls wanted a new hairdo for the day. So, I took a cue from this site and put their hair into a High School Musical style. They both loved it:
