Giving "Feeder" A New Meaning!

Boots The Barn Cat Finds A Squirrel!
It looks like the greedy squirrel at the bird feeders has met his match today.  We usually see the cat sitting near the feeders watching the birds, but this was a different scene! Needless to say, the birds had scattered.
Yikes! Now What?!?
Things got pretty dicey out there for the squirrel. They really couldn't see each other much of the time and it seemed like going higher was the first choice for the squirrel, but then …
Where Did That Cat Go?
After about 10 minutes of round & round, up & down by both, it basically came down to a standoff. The squirrel wouldn't move and the cat got bored. The squirrel lives to raid the feeders another day …
Standoff!

Getting Ready

Black Walnuts Gathered & Soaking For Dye
We are having visitors tomorrow at Wild Rose Farm & it happens to tie in with gathering black walnuts to soak out for a natural black walnut dye.
The squirrels already got to the ones on the left and removed the nut meat from both sides of the shell. I need to gather more walnuts (say a 5 gallon bucket full) to make enough for a nice strong dye bath ... then let them soak & ferment for a week or two!
