Each year I try to dry our sunflower seeds for the birds.
I lay them out and get them all nice in the sun.
Almost ready!
I am thinking,"Oh the birds will be so happy this winter, and so will I, watching the birds eat the seeds."
I am so happy!
The next day I head in to check on my seeds and a mouse, chipmunk or squirrel has found my sunflowers in the sun.
And I ask myself...what are those darn cats doing?
Living the life of a cat, of course.

Have a great weekend my friends!

This is so funny. I had one single little sunflower that grew close to where one of the bird feeder is and I had high hope of harvesting the seed head but just when the seed head was ready, something beat me to it. They clipped the top of the seed head and made off with it. Probably one of the pesky squirrels around my house. lol.
ReplyDeleteMy barn cats are somewhat lazy too. It's really a cat's life.

At least someone is enjoying the seeds!

Well, maybe they're not mousers, but you can't really be mad at such adorable cats, Carla. :) ~ Nancy
ReplyDeleteAnd WHAT a life! heehee! All of the critters love these seeds....they must be extra tasty! Have a fun weekend my friend! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteThose cats certainly look like they enjoy life. Both are gorgeous and obviously very much loved.
ReplyDeleteCute kitties. I suspect that if we kept our cats slightly hungry all the time, they'd take their job more seriously! Tuppence is the same way. Lol Mouse? What mouse? Go get it yourself. :-) Next year I'm raising sunflowers. Remind me. :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL- One thing you can't do is tell a cat what to do! lol They were living the life of Riley and so were the squirrels..xo Diana
ReplyDeleteYour cats are the sweetest!! What are their names? Sorry about your sunflower seeds, that is such a bummer! You did remind me though to get out and pick up some of the seeds I wanted to save for next year. Thank You for that! And for sharing pics of your sweet kitty cats!
ReplyDeleteLove the very last picture of your kitties! I'm sure they enjoy watching a little animals as well :-) hopefully the chipmunks and squirrels save some for the birds this winter! What a good idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet of you to go to all that work to take care of the birds! My stepdad had a bird feeder by the driveway. Bird poop EVERYWHERE. I think he finally moved it somewhere where the bird poop wasn't quite so...in the way!
ReplyDeleteI love your photos! When we grew squash butternut.....we roasted the seeds and oh we're they delicious!m
ReplyDeletewe have dogs...same life as the cats...
ReplyDeleteI just let the sunflowers die on the stalk..the birds come and eat when they want. Never seen a squirrel or chipmunk try and climb one yet..plus I am a bit lazy. :-) cute kitties! Janice
ReplyDeletePrecious cat pics. Too bad about the seeds. About the only seeds we collected this year were marigolds.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! The cats pic is priceless!! Yes....my cats only do what THEY want to do. Great post...:)
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting series of photos. Funny story. Darn squirrels.
