I am definitely a country girl that loves to garden, quilt, preserve, hunt, and read. I love my family more than anything in the world. I live with my husband of fifty years. We have a son, daughter, granddaughter and grandson. We live on a 500+ acre farm in Virginia with about 75 cows & bulls, thirty chickens, and three dogs.
I love that we have so much wildlife near and around us. Deer, bear, raccoons, wild rabbits, turkeys, it’s all here. This month we’ve had a very special guest playing in the back yard.
It’s a fox squirrel that half black and half red/gray. He’s beautiful!!
When I first saw it out my kitchen window, I panicked thinking it was a skunk.
He’s eating sunflower seeds I put out for the birds. They scatter it everywhere.
I hope he hangs around because he’s a beauty!!
Most fox squirrels are gray and red.
He’s gathering old maple seed and sunflower seeds that the birds have dropped near the feeders.
