Here’s a picture of a squirrel I feed. She shows up every day on my porch, like my other outside children do, so I grab the jar of peanuts and instruct her to follow me to my mom’s cherry tree. She follows and I toss some peanuts under the canopy, where she dines with a meditating cat statue and a fake stone that reads, “Make Your Mama Proud.” The squirrel is going to have babies soon, and she will tell them to come here for food. She will drop them off one day and that will be it – I will be happily feeding all of them.

I love words. And animals. Photography and fedoras. Welcome. And stay awhile.

  2. So cute, and I love your statue. When I was little, every squirrel I’d see in our yard was “Joe”, and I really thought it was just the same squirrel, for years and years.

    1. Thanks! I probably thought the same thing when I was little. I think that’s pretty common. Unless one has half of a tail, there’s no way to really tell them apart unless you see them up close. “Chippy” was the original tame squirrel, and she had half of a tail because she had gotten caught by a cat, but she had gotten away obviously. She was so tame she would sit on my mom‘s feet to eat her peanuts. 😊

    1. I’ve been camping with Girl Scouts when I was little, and I learned one thing: camping is not for me. I love the woods, but I don’t want to sleep there. 😉😊

    1. Thanks, Kymber. Chipmunks are cute. There was one where I used to work and he was so grumpy. He lived under some type of an electric generator Ater thing. I don’t have chipmunks where I live for some reason. I hope you have friends at your new house too! 🐿️♥️

  10. My family was from the country (in Australia), and my Dad said only city people camp. So we always went on holidays and stayed in motels, always looking for the best in town in the best pool (they are small towns). I used to go camping with my (ex)-wifes family, they were from the city:-) Actually, now I think about it, I met her camping with friends!
