Critters Big and Small – Under a New Roof

Our big thing this week is our new roof. It was supposed to take two days but it will end up being four because of our steep pitch. I know one thing, it is not the workers. They are amazing. They show up early and work hard until 6 pm or so with only about 30 minutes for lunch and then they clean up everything really well before they leave. I think they are amazing. They are loud though!

Our poor little Kodi did not like it one bit! He’s kind of anxious anyway so he had a hard time of it.

Lizzy the cat dealt with it by taking over Kodi’s crate.

We are almost done now. We just have to get the new guttering on Monday morning.

On another front we have had some visitors in our backyard. I was told by a professional naturalist that this is a Red Spotted Purple Butterfly. I think it is beautiful.

Google images told me that this is a Gulf Fritillary. It is also beautiful.

That’s about it for this week. I’m linking with Saturday’s Critters.

    I am not sure if images are missing, I see some big spaces on the post.
    Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a wonderful weekend.

    Sounds like they are doing a great job on your roof. I remember how noisy it was, I sympathize with Kodi and Lizzy. You were lucky with those beautiful butterflies in your garden.

    It’s a loud job for sure! All of the houses in my neighborhood are around 25 years old and getting new roofs. They start early and work all the daylight hours. I wouldn’t want their job! You have a beautiful home. Cuddles for Kodi!

    The Red Spotted Purple is an amazing butterfly! Someone wasn’t terribly creative naming it. Nice to have a new roof before winter. My dog would be a mess too with noise on the roof. He likes workers around the house, and yard, but the roof would be a different matter. People don’t belong there!

    I love the butterflies, my favorite colors are purple and orange.
    Love your header.

    We recently had a new roof and gutters put on our house, it’s very expensive!

    Kodi and Lizzy are cuties! My Jaspurr looks like Lizzy’s sister
