My Country

Even though i was planning to basically make this a cooking blog, I have succumbed to the pressures of the readership ( Ok, One reader) and shall expand the repertoire.

Since I am now at home during the day,  I have noticed some interesting things that are going on around the house.

The first thing I noticed is that there is a really really brave ( and foolish) woodchuck who has re-invaded the hole that I gassed and sealed up last year. As I went past my window this morning, I saw him standing there on his hind legs, like a sailor at sea, surveying the endless undulation of the waves. Needless to say, my greeting to him was not Ahoy. 

Later int he day I discovered, to my growing chagrin, that it appears that a woodpecker has decided to confuse old siding for a tree, and he is drilling on the house with his head attempting to make a nest.  

This birdbrain did not even get the benefit of a greeting, as I only heard the sound, and need to determine where on the house he is looking to put in his annex.

Stay tuned to see how Little House in the Woods turns out.

A woodpecker pecks at a tree in order to get insects which it may contain to come out and get eaten. It does not make nests in the holes it drills.
