RDP-Sunday–Squirrel
Things go missing. People go missing. I often think my brain goes missing and sometimes, that’s a good thing.
Right now, however, Garry took this perfect picture of (you guessed it) a squirrel. By the Blackstone in River Bend Park.

I’m pretty sure he isn’t the source of my loss, but who knows?

SERENDIPITY - SEEKING INTELLIGENT LIFE ON EARTH 
Squirrels are fuzzy-tailed metaphors for the upside of absentmindedness. Yeah, sure, maybe you forgot where you buried your nuts last year—but would you look at that forest!
Anyhow, I hope you find your missing pieces.

I can’t remember anything longer than the few minutes it takes to say “Gee, we really need to pick up some …” after which, I don’t remember I ever said it and neither does Garry. Until I go look for it and it isn’t there. Saves me money, though. I think about buying things and I hunt them down on Amazon — and then, I decide to put them in my wish list. The next time I notice them, they aren’t even being carried anymore.

Fantastic shot! We’ve got a huge, round gray squirrel stealing the bird food. As for my brain cramps…so excuses. 🙂 xo

I am just so burnt out. I need to tone it down for a while and catch my breath. I love writing, but it turns out I don’t have a brilliant idea every day. Some days, I’m not all that brilliant. That’s when the squirrel has my brain.

We’re doomed if squirrels and cats ever formed an alliance. 😀

We don’t see them here, probably because of the fisher cats, coyotes, foxes, and other predators. They stay high in the trees. It’s safer up there.

Yes, it would be. We have a couple who make appearances and they are so cute! The dog has made a difference, they sit higher in the trees alongside the property even though he’s on a lead and can’t reach them, he can bark at them! lol

Squirrels don’t go near our yards. Too much noise, too much barking.

I think ours just don’t like the noise. And we do have a lot of predators. The dogs are noisy, but they are locked up. On the other hand, the fisher cats, coyotes, and bobcats are hungry. Even in the trees, hawks, eagles, owls — they are all ready for a nice furry treat.

That would make for a feeding opportunity for sure.

I think they’re cute – a real nuisance but cute.

I don’t mind that they make the dogs go berserk. What I REALLY mind is that they chew on wires. That’s a real issue around here.

I took a video of one making a winter home in our neighbours garage roof. I put it in a song call Nana Blues. She looked so cute enjoying the sun on her balcony (the gutter on the roof edge). I think thought she had winter licked.
