Goin' Squirrelly

After a long weekend of work and relatively little rest, I decided to join the creatures in our garden for some entertainment. The first time I decided to feed these little visitors I used the peanuts in the shell. Later when I saw the mess they left behind I switched to unsalted, unshelled treats. What a huge success !

Meet Blondie

Blondie gets chased away by all the others. Her tail is as blonde as my hair. She must be known as a misfit. I think I know how she feels.

This little Chippy is my favorite because he is so brazen .

In the meantime Sam sits on my knee, his whiskers raised and a gggrrrr...He's a sick little guy, but still taking care of his 'turf'.

Ha! My pride as a "good Mom" forces me to follow my Kinza with a comment! Yes! My sister is visiting from Denver and we've all been up VERY late gabbing and laughing and partying! Kinza's not usually on line at 1:58 AM!!!

Great post, Nancy! Makes me want to go out and start spreading OUR peanuts around!

I think the key to MISFIT is that we are trying to fit into the wrong places...do not diss yourself any more over that...you do fit...you fit with me and some other select people. Dwell on that my dear friend. We DO fit. We fit with God, we fit with how He created us and those of us who love you know that you are a perfect fit.......
