a couple of things to make you smile....

this is one of our resident cottage squirrels

who likes to nibble on whatever we put in the bird feeders

~see his little stock pile in front of him~

and

because i think he's adorable

he gets away with it

~

last weekend

after he finished stuffing himself silly

he ran down the hill

and

literally threw himself onto the coolness that the top of the cement septic tank

offered him

and

just laid there

~

i was waiting for him to roll over

and

un-buckle his pants so he could rest his hand in waist band

and

close his eyes for the rest of the afternoon

but

he didn't

~

obviously

this is a squirrel with manners

and

if my squirrel didn't make you smile

this will

without question

~

talk about an amazingly creative mom
