Saturday Sparks Link Party 573

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 573! 

 Starting off today's party with a continuing saga!


Guess who's back!

We came home the other day to chewed branches laying on the ground beneath one of our trees.

Our prickly little menace was back on the prowl.

DH grabbed a shovel and swung it like a bat against the tree, trying to intimidate the little guy.

He shimmied his way back down the branch, but stopped and proceeded to glare at DH.

The stare down lasted for 5 minutes or so,  before DH gave up and went about his day.

The porcupine may have won this battle, but tomorrow is another day.

"If an animal does something, we call it instinct; if we do the same thing for the same reason, we call it intelligence."

~ Will Cuppy

Now, let's get this party started!

First up, the Fabulous Features from Saturday Sparks 572.

BTW, the fact that the first feature shares so many similarities with our porcupine was not lost on me. 😄

  3. Hahaha! Luckily your porcupine is not as big as my troll. That would cause you a lot of trouble! Thanks!

    1. It's funny that a few people have mentioned never seeing a porcupine before, Patrick. They seem so commonplace here. Many smiles ~ Suzanne.

  6. Thank you so much for hosting Suzanne, for us it is the racoons and they usually travel in a group of 3-6. Not near as cute as that little porcupine! Hugs- Tanya @twelveOeight

    1. Happy to host, Tanya! We have a couple raccoons that show up on our cameras from time to time, but they haven't given us any trouble...yet, anyway! 😊 Hope your little raccoon gang stay in their lane. Happy Summer ~ Suzanne.
