I'm going squirrely




The only things in the garden of interest are the squirrels
I counted nine running through the trees
across the fence and into the pines
oh dear
Which one is my Happy Jack?
I think there is a "mixer" going on in my garden.
It is cold today and oh so gloomy
When of when will the sun come out
when will I see the first hint of bloodroot,or
trillium?
I said I would embrace this winter season
but it hasn't even been a good winter!!
Bring it on, Spring!

  1. Oh dear.... I once read that squirrels have a lifespan of 15 years. No wonder there are so many of them.

    I wish you an early spring.
    Thanks for following.

  5. yes please. I too had great expectations and plans. They've all disappeared int a puff of smoke.

    I want it over, please. It's very cold now and dog walking is not a pleasure anymore.

  6. don't you sometimes wonder
    if the whole reason for squirrels
    ....their purpose for being,
    is to make us grin?
    I wonder that sometimes.
    it would be an awfully high calling,
    I think.
    I love the funny little critters:)

  7. Hee hee, sounds like the squirrel chamber of commerce is meeting in your yard ... or perhaps they are having a sock hop? Hope you see the sun soon.

  9. Those pictures are adorable, Suz. It looks like a book I would fall in love with. :) I've seen several Fox Squirrels this past week---they are just so 'cheeky' and cute.
