The sun was struggling with the rain clouds and the squirrels were hungry.
I waited for the sun and the expected knock on our study window told me somebody wanted nuts.
We are all struggling with the weather nowadays and there are also many other struggles across this globe that we call earth. The Ukraine situation also seems to deteriorate by the day and solutions for peace remain distant. We have a big wild fire in a town here and they are struggling to douse the fire. Just two examples of the battles and I don't even want to mention the Hive prices.
But life goes on.
So yes, of course I fed the pleading squirrel some nuts.
The succulents were wet, but every time that the sun popped out I took some photos of them.
Here below you can see that all of the squirrels now have their winter coats on. Lovely colored fur coats.
A wet dove was also around to pick up the pieces of the nuts that the squirrels dropped.
Finally here is a shot of a wet Periwinkle flower.
We are to have rain until Saturday and the power cuts continue, so it's a bit of a stressful time, but as usual we will manage to cope.
In the meantime I will simply continue to search for the beauties that surround us, as it keeps me in a happy mood.
Life is certainly not easy at times but I know that we can cope with whatever it throws at us. It is only a matter of overcoming and over the years at Papillon we have learned many tricks about how to manage dire situations. Charity work is not easy or for the fainthearted, but there are always great results that one can look forward to.
Such is life.
And That's All Friends.

Awww, what a little cutie pie! I guess I would be playing with them all day 🙂
Tiring little critters but yes, great fun 😁
!PIZZA
The squirrel is so cute, Zac, and the rainy plants lovely too, but the Periwinkle flower is my absolute favourite today 🤩
When I read or watch the news, what I seldom do these days, I realize that all my problems are not even worth mentioning.
!BEER and !WINE - both make a nice dinner with !PIZZA :)

Flower power was the thing in the 60s, but I think that you were too young then to remember it 😉
The news is very scary Hannes as one simply cannot believe what's going on in this world 😮
Cheers and thanks.
Yep, I was a baby 😉
That's why I don't often watch them.
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)
!invest_vote
I know and the flower power era was indeed a great time.
You don't often watch flowers, really not good Hannes, as flowers means peace on earth. Just ask the bees 😉
Now relax, sit down and have a cup of tea, as I know that you were talking about the news 😛
Cheers and thanks.
I just wanted to tell you that I meant the news before I read your last sentence 😂
But I am having a cup of hot tea indeed - nothing's better here in the heat 🌞
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)
!invest_vote
Hahaha, so I had to explain it as I didn't want to hurt your emotions and pride 😇 !LOLZ
Tea is the best drink in heat and I am on my second cup of coffee, as cold here. KZN province have stormy rains and mudslides again. Please pray for them.
Cheers and thanks.
Nobody believes me, but I drink hot tea and they sweat much more than me 😅 !LOLZ
Joan said there were damages, but not too bad. I hope that this Winter will be a calm Winter for you all.
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Oh my gosh, that squirrel is so cute 😍
The news everywhere is so overwhelming these days. That it is a relief in some way, seeing the wonders we have close to us. I hope the power cuts are not too extensive. And that everything gets better soon. Cheers!😄
Oh yes, I agree with you and nature is my doctor 😊
Power cuts we are used to my friend as it's been carrying on for years now. The bad news is that things are getting worse, but we will simply have to endure my friend.
I pity the people in the poor areas where we work with Papillon, but life goes on.
Have some !PIZZA
I can relate since we are used to power cuts here, too. And in the rural areas and the inland cities is worst. But yes, life goes on :)
Have a nice evening. And thank you for the Pizza :)
Yes, somehow I think that we are being trained in the art of acceptance my friend.
We are in the rural areas and received notice that we will have many power cuts now in winter.
My pleasure and have another one !PIZZA
Take care.
In our country in the Czech Republic it is said "She, he, it is cheeky like a spa squirrel" 😁
Hahaha, a very good expression my friend 😊
Have some !BEER and !PIZZA
Awww.. Taking care of the cute squirrel is a must! hehe. Poor guy or gal (or they lol) doesn't know the world problems. Just looking for a nut!
That photo of the water on the purple flower is very impressive!
Hahaha, thanks and yes they are really a handful. I wish that we can live like them, as then the world will be a better place.
Thank you and it is a Periwinkle flower. I think it has medicinal properties, but I will have to ask my wife.

And the squirrels, so cute. They know you feed them and come knocking. Lovely. They indeed are fluffing out with their winter fur.
Thank you and correct, correct and correct 😊
Us humans are the only beings that do not have natural fur coats for winter. Even the birds have natural winter feathers.

This morning we had a Harrier Hawk here in a tree watching a squirrel and the squirrels saw me chasing the hawk away. That's why they trust me.
I will show you the hawk in a post tomorrow.
