I have moved. Completely. After two months of attempting to move in (fixing the house LOL), we finally rented a U Haul truck and hauled the rest of our furnitures and moved. The date was August first.
One week into the new house I find that I miss some of my neighbors from the old “hood”. I will just show you two of them today.
Neighbor 1 is Mr. Squirrel. He’s the head of the family of about 4 or 5. He’s always on the lookout for any handouts I treat my neighbors residing in the oaks behind the house. He can be really stubborn. He once ruined a giant sunflower by climbing on the thin stalk to partake of the nutty delights. We never planted any sunflowers after that summer of disaster. But I miss him. My new hood appears to have some gophers, but not any of Mr. Squirrel’s kin to be seen.
And neighbor number 2 is Jay, Blue Jay. He and his kin appeared to have made some division of treats with the squirrel family as they never get to fight for the seeds I line the fences around the backyard. Both photos are taken from my bedroom as both of my neigbors are a little cautious to get their photos taken by the papparazzi. Oh I miss him and his kin as well.
My new backyard has accorded me lots of moments of happy bird watching, although I could not identify any of them yet. So far, I have seen 3 or 4 types of birds frequent my feeder. But because of the many boxes still waiting to be unpacked I have yet to photograph any of my new neighbors. I will keep you posted next time.
MY WORLD showcases the many wonderful places all over the globe. Please join us.
FRANKLY MY DEAR.......

I think Mr. Blue Jay was giving you a dirty look. 😉 They are both very cute. I sure recognize the NYC sidewalk in your last poast because I was just there on saturday.

I hope you are happy in your new home. I’m sorry you lost your neighbours but you’ll find new ones. The animals identify the good persons and make friends.

Both your old neighbours are beautiful, pity you couldn’t take them with you. They will miss you too.

It’s hard to leave the old neighbors. You’ll find new ones and will identify them and they will welcome you to the new hood!

Beautiful world. I agree the squirrels are sweet to look yet, but they after my red hibiscus in my garden. Congratulations to you on moving to your new place.

Thanks for sharing your lovely neighbours. I have squirrels too and they are always so much fun and quick to go around. Gongratulations on the new place too!

Oh, I’m not surprised you miss them! When you get to know all the family of squirrels they become part of your daily life! Good luck in your new home.

We neither have squirrels nor Blue Jays here in Dubai, and I love animals – so I think you are very lucky to have had them as your neighbors. I’m sure you’ll make new and interesting neighbors in no time. Until then, good luck with the unpacking 🙂

I suspect they are missing you too. But it’s not going to be long before you make new friends at the new ‘hood’.

I would miss them, too. We don’t have squirrels (sad lack of trees), and I miss them. And I know the bird is rowdy and annoying and all, but I miss Blue Jays as well!
