Last Christmas Jean gave us the coolest thing ever: a squirrel feeder. Ophy and Pippa and I had tons of fun watching the squirrels hang upside down and gnaw on the concentrated corn cobs. Jim didn’t love the feeder as much as we did, mainly because all kinds of petrified corn scum accumulated on the deck underneath the feeder.
At any rate, one morning I snapped some great photos of my favorite squirrel (the one with the poofy ear tufts) feasting on the corn, with the intention that I’d post the photo here for Jean’s amusement. And then I forgot to post the photo. Better late than never, though, so here it is (click on image to enlarge):
Oh, fun! I so wish I could put one of those on my deck! But, little insane Owen would go into orbit if he saw a squirrel eating (gasp!) in his own yard. Ah, dogs.
Thanks for posting the picture!
