I secretly like them

Look at all the fuzzy little jerks that were in my yard the other day.

If you look close, you'll see there were four of them. They really like the buffet I put out.

Eating all the sunflower seeds

Peanuts on the patio

Saturday's al fresco dining wasn't nearly as nice.

It was cold and rainy, and I felt bad for mama squirrel. Then I realized that this is probably the same mama squirrel who put her in nest in the tree I need to cut down, so now I have to wait for the babies to leave the nest so I can get rid of the leaning, fungus-covered tree. Between the peanuts and the tree, I think my karma's covered, so I don't feel so bad about not having an umbrella on the patio table.
