The missus makes an appearance
Posted by Morning Bray under Farm | Tags: ground squirrel, rock squirrel, squirrel |[16] Comments
As we were sitting out on the front porch enjoying our margaritas on Sunday afternoon, Lenny came by to check on us.
Instead of Lenny though, it was his missus.
I’ve seen pups running around lately, so it was nice to meet their mamma.
The female rock squirrel has two litters a year with three to nine young in each litter. The first litter is born between April and June and the second litter is born between August and September.

A new love affair and an engineering genius

This time of year, watching monsoon clouds gather over Albuquerque is an almost daily occurrence.
The monsoon is our summer rainy season. It runs from about late June or early July until mid-September, and generally brings us about 40 percent of our annual rainfall.
I began a new love affair at the beginning of this year’s monsoon. How did I ever live without gumboots?
Several of the boys’ favorite spots have turned into cesspools these last couple of weeks. This corner of the corral is was the donkey place to be, thanks to the fine sand that Lenny dug out when he built his nest. Until the monsoon started, this was prime real estate for donkey rolling at Morning Bray Farm.
Not so much now. This is so cool though. I’ve never been okay with walking in green funk before.
Lenny is constantly making changes to his abode based on current conditions. We’re wondering if the Army Corps of Engineers is hiring, because Lenny is an engineering genius. He built himself a levee. ♥

Lenny

You might remember a post about Cecil from several weeks ago. Just as we call all of our barn swallows Cecil, all of our squirrels are called Lenny.
Lenny was in the inner sanctum of the Hairy Hacienda yard when Don took these pictures. Oh dear.
Hun, pleeeese be careful about coming into this yard. The last time Lenny ventured in here, he met a not so pleasant fate.
And, dude. Are you eating my plants?
For Cathy R… we promise we will. 😀
