Gettin' Squirrelly



In our youngest, tiniest, new birch tree the squirrel perched, making a late afternoon snack out of the catkins found hanging from the spindly branches. Cassie snapped these photos through the window while standing motionless in the living room. Little Squirrel remained for several minutes before he scampered off in search of new and exotic foods in our yard and beyond.

After removing our three ancient, rotting Thundercloud Plum trees over a year ago we wondered if we'd ever have squirrels in trees in our front yard again.

Guess that question's been answered!

It's a sign that our life is returning to us after our long remodel project. And we welcome the arrival of the new and familiar.

He really is a cute little rascal, you are right, Mike. He gives the beagle fits - but we humans enjoy the show!
