Stuff by Hope: He's Back!

He's Back!

One day last November I saw a Northern Flicker at the suet feeder just as I was heading out the door for work. I didn't have time to get a shot of him and I never saw another Flicker again...until today.

Sure wish I had a good camera so I could get nice pictures of these beautiful birds. The Northern Flicker is very striking and this pic doesn't do him/her justice.

I'm just amazed at all the different birds who have come to my backyard. The woodpeckers are among my favorites. Now, if only I could see a Red-headed and a Pileated I'd be thrilled.

Ever since I can remember, I have loved kitties. There's only been one time in my life that I didn't have at least one cat as a member of the family.

I have a tabby named Gary. He came to live with me in 2002 just before Thanksgiving. He's a sweetheart and the best cat in the world.

I was also adopted by a huge tom-cat whom my son named Schteve. He began coming around the yard in April of 2011 and continued to hang out nearly everyday. Finally, he decided he liked it here and made himself at home. Unfortunately, Schteve disappeared on December 16th, 2014.

When my son was little we adopted an all-white male kitty from the Animal Shelter. His name was Dipstick. He was quite a character and a member of the family for nearly 20 years.

Unfortunately, old age took it's toll and he left us on 08-07-06. I missed him so much that I made a memorial page for him:

In Memory of Dipstick
