I truly enjoy this great thread, SKB! I love hearing about all of your adorable enchanted garden friends and seeing all the stunning pics. I love all the butterfly pics and definitely smiled at your darling little Red. I do hope that he continues to frequent your lovely safe haven. I look forward to seeing him again, too.
I also love that you have special names for all your little garden friends and think it is so sweet that they become part of your extended family over time. I hope that you will one day see Cheddar, Mozzarella, and Blue again, too. I loved hearing about their story as well. I definitely agree that rats are quite wonderful little creatures and very entertaining to watch.
