Animal friends

Some of the animal friends around my home recently.....

 Awwwwww... my sweet little rat friend who turns 2 this week! Look at his tiny hand and my giant hand! And his giant ears! And crazy whiskers! He's such a sweet little friend who's been showing his age a bit. Sometimes he'll actually sit still for a couple of minutes now to get scratched a bit on his neck, head and back.

 This little guy appeared right outside of my living room window a few weeks ago. That weekend he kept coming back over and over again, sometimes just hanging out in this tree. I'm not sure if it's the same one or not, but this evening a little humming bird was back, hanging out in the same spot. I'm always keeping my ears open for their little "chirp chirp" sound now!

If I had a yard, I would so enjoy watching the wildlife come by! Maybe one day.....
