Random 5

Yipee - it's Friday and time for a little randomness.

Hey! Whatchu  lookin' at?!


1) A few weeks ago I bought my very first bird feeder.
Oh yeah, now we're the birdy party house!

2) I'm adding a bird bath this weekend
because - you know - I kind of want to be the hostess with the mostest.
More on that little adventure another time...

3) I'd really like to add a peanut feeder, but I should probably wait until the fall when the bears go into hibernation.
I really don't want to be the bear party house.

4) And moving on,
I've been testing both Feedly and Bloglovin. So far Feedly is winning, but they're both pretty buggy on an iPad.
 - or -
 maybe it's just me...

5) Next week is the 4th of July - can you believe it?
I am so looking forward to seeing some very special people!

For more randomness, head over to Nancy's for

I am wishing you a wonderful weekend!

rurality - catamount prowl

Last weekend while running errands, we decided to drive through downtown Bennington, Vermont rather than taking the more direct highway route.
I'm so glad we did.

While riding down Main Street,
I noticed some very colorful cats prowling the street.
I caught these two while stopped at a traffic light.


And I'm thinking that this one would have a difficult time sneaking up on prey with its bright neon face.
These decoratively painted cougars are part of a large collection that make up this year's Catamount Prowl.

Don't you love it when you stumble on something unexpected?
