Bundles of Bat Babies

Baby Bats are swaddled in tiny blankets while trying to recover from the Australian floods. I saw this picture on the nightly news and was delighted to find an article about these cute orphans and their caregivers with more photos right here. I wish I could find a picture of them hanging on the clothes line. That's what they do to these bunting babes when they come out of intensive care. Awwwww.

Webster the Snow Dog

Webster enjoyed his romp in the snow looking for the fox this afternoon before he ate his dinner. The last photo is something I picked up at a tag sale. It's a dog made from flower pots and I think it was decorated with moss at one time. Today's snow is the perfect ornamentation.

Meet Mr. Fox

I've seen so many handsome foxes on my property today but can't get anywhere near them. Webster considers them his mortal enemies because no other 4-legged animal is allowed within his territory. He knows the entrance to one of their dens and is always sniffing around there. I honestly hope there is never a confrontation. We never let Tabitha the cat out alone because of them. They are beautiful animals and they eat mice which makes them heroes in my book.

Giant Rabbit ~ And You Thought Lettuce Wasn't Fattening!

Now that is what I call a giant rabbit. The breed is appropriately called German Giant hare. This big guy is 3 feet long and weighs 22 pounds. His owner says his favorite food is lettuce. Look at those feet. The article is wonderful and shows a photo of another one too. Read more . . .

It's Snowing Again

This photo made me laugh. It's snowing pretty hard again here at the cottage. I have to share something with you on how I clean off my car. It's against the law to drive around with a big snow pile on top of your car and I drive a big Suburban (sorry, but I love it) and it's really hard to reach the roof.

I was shopping at the Home Depot last year and spotted one of those rubber SweepA brooms (As Seen on TV) with a wide base and short rubber bristles on one side and a squeegee on the other. It has a retractable aluminum handle with a long reach too. I use it when I wash windows on the outside. This year I got the idea to use it to clean snow off my car and it's wonderful. Nothing gets scratched thanks to the black rubber bristles plus it's fun and fast to use. That's my hint for the day. Stay warm.

Every Time Zone in a Visual Display

EveryTimeZone.com I like this site. It's so much easier than counting forward and/or backward on my fingers. It's a good reference for bloggers with a big following in other countries. Why post when they are sleeping? Find the perfect time when everyone is awake. Nice.
