Okay I admit it...

My name is Chez and I.....
LOVE SQUIRRELS!

This guy or gal has been eating maple seeds outside my shop all week. I will call her she for sake of continuity. SHE jumps a little when I pull up in my car, but sees it is mine (no matter which vehicle) and comes back down and sits. I have been as close as 3 feet from her. I love to watch her play. She sits on the roof of my bird house, she gets IN the empty birdfeed, she hangs upside down, but often just sits around eating like this. They are so cute in the winter with their floofy tails and little 'hands'. I just could watch her for hours. It calms my spirit somehow. I watched her descend the tree today and she PAUSED held on with just her back legs and STRETCHED out like superman trying to fly. I just laughed away at her.

I hope you are a squirrel lover, too. Honestly, I am glad I still have the shop in town, because they are much more leary in the country.

Hi Chez,
I do like the little "girl" but like chipmunks better...I think chips are cuter:)
Things are getting "in Place" I see. I also think it's awesome that you rescue horses and foster.
What are your plans for Thanksgiving?
Take care.
Hugs,
Deb

When I worked in the engineering library on the third floor, we could look out the windows right into the squirrels nests. It was fascinating to watch them building a house of leaves in a strong wind.

I love them too. I could watch them for hours they are so cute. I like to feed them and make them come take the food/nuts out of my hand.

Hugs,
Joanne
