This is the old ice cream bucket where we store peanuts for the squirrels that visit our back yard. We leave them on top of the compost bin and then enjoy watching them have their afternoon peanut feasts.
Whenever we go out to the back porch, after a few minutes two or three squirrels will present themselves for feeding along the back fence. As soon as one of us walks out there and leaves a handful of peanuts, they rush over and help themselves. It's cheap fun.

Speaking of fun...my book club met this past Wednesday night. The book wasn't very good, but it was great to see my friends. As we were getting ready to leave I saw Karen H. preparing to take a selfie and said, "Hey! Can I get in on that?" and she said, "Sure!" The next day she sent me this montage.
Last but not least, I finally put up a little bit of autumn decoration on our front porch. While I was out there arranging the wreath just so, my sweet Georgie showed up and watched me. I sure love that old boy.

The peanut container's slogan sums up your treatment of squirrels -- "generous friends."
Georgie looks like a supervisor!
Do you feel observed by the door guard?
I have lots of squirrels, but because of Howie they keep a keen distance away from the yard.
Lovely photos! You look very happy. What was the not-so-great book?
You didn't tell us what the book was (so we can avoid it)!
I will now be hearing Screamin‘ Jay Hawkins‘ I put a spell on you in my head for most of the day!
Love the selfie montage with your friend, and the beautiful wreath on your front door. Isn‘t autumn a wonderful season? Every year when it comes round I think it‘s my favourite, but then spring arrives and early summer, and those two have so much going for them as well.
This post made me smile. I love those selfies!
Your autumn wreath is delightful and George is a sweetheart.
I love Autumn! Love your selfie! How nice to smile with friends!
Wow you're aware Jen feed squirrels and birds. I think my neighbors got a little annoyed with the peanut thing, cuz now we have about 10 squirrels running around here! Blue Jays will also eat whole peanuts from the ground. It's funny to watch their beaks break through the shells. And I enjoyed saying all the fall finery.
Oh Lord. We try NOT to feed the squirrels but with the pecan trees...
Maurice does her best to control the population.
Your front porch looks quite seasonal. Love the selfies.
Inquiring minds want to know the name of the book!
Love the pic of George, and also the ones of you!
Nice photos of you!
All seems well in Florence SC. Even if you did not attend the "No KIngs" rally, i thoroughly expect that you were there in person as you are a member of the dreaded... "ANTIFA!" Aaaaaaaaaargh!
Loved this post loved it
The book was "Anywhere You Run" by Wanda M. Morris.

I've seen Jays eat peanuts too! :)
Thanks!
I drove by and waved and honked!
Yes it does!
He's the sweetest boy!
Always!
Ours avoid Poppy whenever she's out back.
I love the weather and the blue, blue skies in October, but I hate it when it gets dark so early.
Thank you!
Good to see you here John!
I'm glad I made you smile! :)
We always have fun at book club. It's nice to see friends.
My grandfather used to get so pissed off at squirrels eating his pecans.
Check my comment below for the book. Thanks Steve!
