The squirrel jumped on your head and scared you! 😂 He’s sooo cute! Stay dry, Cher, you guys and Michigan, Wisconsin are getting dumped on, wow!
Hahahaha, well, I think the squirrel was defo thinking about it, John! Ah, thanks so much! Yes, that is correct! Rain gear at the ready! Stay cool in LV, my friend! Cher xoxoxo
Ya never know what these critters are thinking, however they think? 85 today with crazy up and down temps for the next few days but the sun is shining, the most important thing to keep the blahs away!
It defo keeps the blahs away, John! Yes, good point! LOL Who knows what they are thinking! Thank you, my friend! Stay cool! Cher xoxoxo
Happy Saturday! Be safe, I see there are a lot of tornadoes up there already this spring.
Happy Saturday to you, John! Yes, thank you! There was quite the lightning show last night over Lake Michigan. I tried to get some photos but it was primarily sheet lightning.

Great shot, Cher, and so sharp! Did you use a telephoto lens?
Why thanks so much, Mitch! I just got a new phone (Android – Samsung Galaxy S26). It takes incredible photos! It seems especially clear when taking photos on cloudy days. I just zoomed in a wee bit – when I looked at the squirrel I thought, wow, that’s super clear!
Thank you again, Mitch! I’m excited to explore the new features of the camera! Cher xoxoxo
Wow! Hard to believe it was taken with a phone camera.
Thank you, Mitch! You know, I thought the exact same thing! I was quite surprised! Cher xoxoxo
I am sorry, Cher, but its look is just too enchanting for not winning 😍
LOL I completely agree, dear Erika! The squirrel wins! LOL Cher xoxoxo

I think you one chair squirrels are skittish one sudden move and they’re out there like a flash. Good for you for having it stared down those little weasels they’re so cute though
Hahaha, thank you, Joseph! They really are cute, aren’t they? When I moved just a bit the squirrel did run up the tree! Thank you so much, my friend! Cher xoxoxo
LOL. The mighty squirrels are my husband’s nemesis. They swing from our bird feeders like they’re taunting him! 😂🐿️
Michelle, that is too funny! LOL I’m certain that is precisely what they are doing! LOL Thank you! Cher xoxoxo
Your blog is beautiful. I’m visiting all of Hugh’s recommended blogs. I love the picture at the top.
Welcome, Marsha! Thank you so much! Hugh is one of my favorite bloggers of all-time. Please stop by anytime! Thank you again, Marsha! Cher xoxoxo
I grew up in Indianapolis. A few years ago my brother and I spent a few days in Chi as we took a train to Ind from Portland, OR. It was so fun. We took the architectual river cruise and did a lot of walking around looking at parks and statues.
That’s lovely to hear, Marsha! There is so much to see and do here! I’m sure you felt that way when you and your brother visited. Do you recall having a favorite part of the visit? Cher xoxoxo
I love the water. We had so much fun on the river tour. We took a taxi ride on the lake, and best might have been the amusement park, the feris wheel overlooking the lake and city. The whole city was magical.
Yes, that is “Navy Pier.” It literally used to be where the US Navy practiced! I think the same about Chicago, Marsha! You described the river tour and water taxi so beautifully! Thank you so much! Cher xoxoxo
I took tons of pictures. Believe it or not the temperatures were in the 80s in late October. The week after we left, it snowed. 🙂
Oh, did you? Yes, that sounds about right! LOL Cher xoxoxo
