Oh my ! that little fellow couldn`t have got much more in there could he ? he he !
Good Sunday! I love your back yard, I have seen it through the seasons now! The Big Guy is really packing it in, I wonder if there is a big family behind the scenes, one does like to fantasize....
I'm not good at pruning, or even deadheading, either. So I just stick with asters.
Fall is really in the air with those couple of cool nights we've had lately, isn't it?
Look at the tiny, perfect feet on that guy, the handsome stripes, the stuffed cheeks! Great photos! Sheri.
I believe i would stink at gardening for the same reason. And your chippies are too cute!
Oh my! His cheeks are going to pop! LOL!
I have a difficult time pruning back, too. My garden was an experiment and I think I was expecting not to have much grow this year, so when the seeds sprouted and everything was growing lush, and tall....and smushed together, I just couldn't bear to thin them out. It felt like murder somehow. eek!
Of course, that meant that the poor plants were fighting to nutrients and space to grow, so my harvest was a little stunted, although my romaine lettuce seemed to like living among crowds and they grew thick and healthy and I'm still enjoying tasty salads, even though summer is over.
Your camera has great zoom! Love that close-up of your chippy. Wow! His cheeks are packed! Looks painful. lol!

Oh my goodness! He sure does have his pouch crammed with seed doesn't he? Its amazing he can haul that load around!
I had never heard that rule about mums. I received one this spring as a gift. I did cut it back one time and it isn't leggy. I wonder if things are different out here... or whether it was just dumb luck?!
I'll have to watch it next year.
Those are the puffiest cheeks I've ever seen on a chipmunk!! He must know something we don't.
Happy Sunday,
Madi and Mom
Hi Louise!! There really is a feeling of fall in the air this weekend, isn't there? I've heard that how the animals are collecting seeds etc., are an indication of the winter--This cute lil' chipmunk is making me nervous!!
My first thought upon seeing your yard photo was that it is still SO green! Wow.
Love the little big guy with full cheeks!
Those cheeks! Oh my goodness!
Oh my i think i might loose my sight! for the love of it i just CAN NOT find you mums!!!
Gonna enlarge your picture and LOOK!
haha

Louise -- His looks like he has the mumps. I think he will have plenty stored for the winter by the time he is through scavengering. -- barbara
that's some impressive pouch capacity.
