Killer Sarah
Sarah got her first woodchuck this morning. We've seen it around for a few weeks, not a big one.
It's been eating my neighbors cucumber vines to nubs, no visible damage here.
Critters don't usually get into our fenced yard but I found where it had dug under to get in.
It was late morning, I was at the patio table when I noticed some motion along the back fence, just rustling in the brush. Ten minutes later Sarah takes off and her "I caught a varmint" bark was heard. I grabbed the squirt water bottle to investigate, usually a good squirt gets the critters to move on if they are outside the fence. Not this time. Sarah had this poor thing well enough to finish the job.
I grabbed a shovel, dug a hole near the compost pile and slowly persuaded Sarah to relinquish her prize.
I have mixed emotions about this but it's life, I guess.
She had a bad run-in with a big woodchuck a few years ago, fortunately this was a small one.

As you can see we are in for a wonderful day. "They" say it may hit 50 out. We'll see but it surely will be a great day for a walk.
Happy Thursday Daily Pics!

nice shot of a bit of history
It's Amarylis planting time. I have 5 blooming size bulbs, this is the oldest at 25 ish. An unnamed red.
Nice bird shot, GTO.
It's a balmy 27 F here with bright sun. We may get an inch or two tomorrow but no brutal cold is expected.
The Old Farmers Almanac may have been right about central US having a colder than normal winter.
I love how you are photographing your possessions and common things around the house for this challenge :)
