LOL! Very cute squirrel especially the one in the elm. <br />All we have to do is say "squirrel!" and Maggie goes wild herself, running from window to window dying to get sight of one. She's love to chase one, if she could, but the trouble is she'd keep going, carefree.<br />Tell that husband to GET out there and get more moon pictures!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626558959674808582.post-15518247958272456802011-03-24T18:27:13.073+02:002011-03-24T18:27:13.073+02:00Lavi:

Probably a combination of a stuffy head and the cold & flu medication I'd been swallowing all day!<br /><br />So glad you enjoyed the squirrels! We love them to bits and feel honoured they choose to visit our garden :)<br /><br />I hope your project is drawing to an end and that you'll be able to relax this weekend!<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />Des xoDesireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626558959674808582.post-56833491235593004012011-03-24T17:12:41.381+02:002011-03-24T17:12:41.381+02:00Get well soon!

Two words say it all: "Wordless Wednesday".<br><br />It is a little trick used to keep readers coming back: post nice pictures or videos. Bloggers have it much easier than writers, since they not only write, they also offer information, photos, videos and anecdotes and it can be as long or short as they want. See, your own squirrels prove that.<br><br />I hope you won't take this the wrong way. The squirrels are lovely and you're always treating us to such great photos and stories.<br><br />I think the most important thing a blogger needs is to be him/herself. And that is what makes me keep coming back to wonderful blogs like yours.Laviniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077833136741791230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626558959674808582.post-74106500798560414732011-03-24T14:54:49.918+02:002011-03-24T14:54:49.918+02:00Hi Desiree,

The photos are so sweet. <br /><br />I don't think of myself as a writer, but when I am doing a post, I think of it as talking. I have plenty to talk about, but don't have the time, so I just post when I can. Also, I've found that when folks visit my blog, they tend to just read the most recent post, so by not posting every day, more of the posts get read. Still, there are times I post several days in a row. I don't remember how often you've been posting.<br /><br />I'm trying to think of what to call it when a blogger can't think of what to write about, but nothing is coming to my brain. :o)<br /><br />I hope you and your dog are feeling better.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626558959674808582.post-14541362640598900552011-03-24T13:26:15.846+02:002011-03-24T13:26:15.846+02:00Hi Desiree and thanks so much for stopping by my b...Hi Desiree and thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I really appreciate it and enjoyed reading yours. Your squirrels did get my attention. Beautiful pictures and I am a real fan of wildlife. We have these regular themes like "wordless wednesday" or "thankful thursday" that are fairly easy to come up with something for a blog but the other days can be difficult when you seem to have run out of fresh ideas. I would like to invite you back to my blog for 2 special posts. Both should be on the first page. One is about a park near my home that is very well done & the other is "when she was young" Barbara Mandrell that will entertain you. Thanks again for stopping by.<br />OdieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920831144240024660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626558959674808582.post-8309114471434542232011-03-24T13:16:23.681+02:002011-03-24T13:16:23.681+02:00Carol:

I was bemoaning the fact that you, the writers of this planet, get it so easy when you run out of things to say. As a blogger, who has been feeling under the weather and not very inspired to search for thrilling new material, I was merely wondering what feasible excuse I could come up with to garner even a droplet of sympathy!<br /><br />I do not for one moment regard myself as a writer. How on earth could we hope to succeed with the kind of competition the likes of you and Karen offer? <br /><br />I was just fooling around a bit. I'd laid claim to my husband's gorgeous squirrel pictures and had to fill in the blank spaces. Today, I'm playing catch-up on the household chores.<br /><br />I've received your email, Carol. Many thanks indeed. I'll get back to you 'under separate cover' :)<br /><br />Hope you get over your cold soon!<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />Des xoxoDesireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626558959674808582.post-44050499283599306772011-03-24T12:56:42.454+02:002011-03-24T12:56:42.454+02:00If my last comment has disappeared into the ether ...If my last comment has disappeared into the ether I am going to scream!

I love your writing and my advise for the cure to your type of illness is... oh wait I don't have one. Hmmm well just keep writing.
