HANGING OUT AND HANGING ON WITH A TREE RAT!

Hi Everybody!!
My squirrels are very clever. Standard thought reflects those with larger brains (like humans) are smarter than those with small brains (like rodents). Personally, I have seen many idiot large brains and many smart little brains in real life! In today's post, you will see one of the squirrels (red dumplin) has learned a new trick. She has watched the cardinals eat seed from the feeder and decided she could do it also! This is so funny to me that I just had to share it with you all. The lesson we can learn here is: Hang On!
Enjoy!

SOME SQUIRRELLY PREPARATIONS FOR THE SPRING PARADE OF BLOOMS AT KATES CABIN

Hi Everybody!!
As you can imagine, the Spring Parade of Blooms in the woodland gardens is a big event around here. The Parade officially kicks off on March 1 and could last for 100 days. The Spectators are still arriving as preparations are well under way. The woodpecker has chosen a skybox for viewing the festivities. The squirrels, however, have gone nuts. They spiked the birdbath with fermented nectar and are literally running through the treetops. I made the mistake of giving the squirrels the little bags of peanuts to hand out during the parade. They stole them all and put them up in their nest. Now, the squirrels are selling the peanuts to the crows in exchange for stolen shiny trinkets. Anyway, I have a very squirrelly situation going on and the squirrel guard dog has laid down on the job. Of course, I have photos documenting all this madness below! Enjoy!
