Arch Enemy #1!

Most of the squirrels around here are common grey squirrels.  They seem to be satisfied with acorns and the seeds that fall out of the feeders.  However, there is one slightly larger orange/yellow fellow that is determined to eat right from the feeder.

Jack tells me that this is a fox squirrel.  He is persistent.

So far, I’ve been able to holler at him and pound on the side of the RV, and he heads back into the nearest tree to give me the evil eye!  He then decides to move along to other locations…so far.  This may be a battle to the finish. 

 

After an overcast morning, the sky cleared, and Emma and I enjoyed a nice long walk around the campground.  It’s been very pleasant the last few days.  No need to turn the AC on.  I start out in jeans, switch to shorts for the afternoon, and then back to sweats for the evening to help ward off the mosquitoes.  I’d be happy if things stayed this way for the whole summer.

The male robins continue to sing away and defend their territories.

 

When I got back from the repair place, yesterday, I noticed a rather fuzzy covering to what I think may be the radiator for the engine.  This rig is a gas pusher, so the engine is in the back.

Even though this is on the side of the rig, it looks like a radiator to me.  I don’t know if that’s really what it is, but I decided to try cleaning it with a toothbrush.  It worked rather well to clean off all the dust and stuff that looked like cotton.  Not to worry, that’s not my toothbrush, but the one I keep for overnight visitors.    (Guess you can figure out that not too many people stay overnight with me.)

 

I got to remembering tonight that I had wanted to make a day trip into Chicago while I was here this summer to visit my high school, the house I grew up in, and a few favorite establishments that I hope are still in business.  Maybe I’ll see if my sister wants to meet me in the city for a stroll back in time.  It’s time to get that on my calendar.

 

Thanks for stopping by… talk to you later,  Judy
