Now what on earth would he be staring so intently at?

Our family spent the day in the garden, all 3 of us, Marian, Troy and me (we are still in lockdown).
We are lucky to have a small garden and we brought all of our potted succulents with us when we moved over 1300+ kilometers to come and live here.
Now winter is approaching and in the last week of winter I want to take all of the plants out of the pots and replant them in a rockery that I am preparing.

So the work has started, but something special happened today!
Come and have a look.

I am cutting this section of grass off, to create space for our potted succulents!

In the space to my left at the wall I will plant two olive trees!

The family members meantime were doing their own things!

Little Troy was supposed to supervise the work, but he was drifting off as usual.
Almost fourteen and a half years old now!

Marian was playing with and feeding the little terrorist Squirry.

But then something totally unexpected happened!

You will have to watch the short video below to see what took place!

This guy laughed so hard at my consternation about the land invasion, that he almost dropped his nuts hahaha.

Our garden is already full of little peanut plants and Squirry decided that she needs more stock for her informal corner shop, so she invaded my new patch with a few peanut plantings Lol.

And That's All Folks!

Now how is that for a business brain? So clever I think, as Squirry pays no rent for the land and she gets her labor for free. She also does not need to give me a cut of her sales and so her earnings are all 100% upvoted Lol.
Since the birth of her youngsters we have not seen "Scarface", her husband around, which means that she has to support her children alone and she led them all here.
The one little guy has the same markings like his father on his face, but we haven't named any of the kids yet, as we first want to see if they will stick around.

Just an ordinary extraordinary day here and I also responded to a terrified scream by a lady that lives opposite our place. She had found something in her kitchen and I took care of it. But that's for another post, as tomorrow I want to continue with my 4 corner series Part 2.
Until then we hope that you are all well and taking care to stay out of the way of this virus.

We hope that you have enjoyed the photos and the story.
