Monday morning I looked out the window and saw this little guy eating his breakfast.
Yum! Fresh maple seeds
As he reached for another helping, something must have caught his attention. He turned and stretched up to better see down the lawn.
Looking, but still chewing
There was no threat just an unusual noise from the neighbor’s farm. No threat? No problem! Time to continue the task at hand.
“I just can’t get enough of these.”
I watched a bit longer, but then left to go about my business.
Today
We have company coming today. Brother-in-law, Rick with my sisters Clara and Maggie are coming for a visit. Rick starts a new job on Monday, so he has a little bit of free time today. We do this from time to time, and I always look forward to it.
Also, FedEx tracking indicates that Sylvia’s new computer is on the delivery truck and should arrive here later today. This is the unit that she used for two days before it died. I had bought it from a reseller on Amazon.com. When I checked warranty status online before sending the computer to the manufacturer for repair or replacement, I discovered that six weeks remained of the one year warranty. Do you think I’ll purchase from that source again? Ever? That’s right. No way!
I need to harvest some rhubarb for Sylvia. I think there’s some rhubarb crisp on our menu for today. :food:
What a great series of the squirrel. I’ve never seen them eat maple keys, although it makes perfect sense.
I was very pleased to have such a cooperative subject. I too had never seen that before. Later, I saw him nibbling on some more of them. :food:
I like squirrels. We’ve been feeding them a nut blend of bird food and everyone is really happy with that. We’ve got squirrels coming from all over to come eat at our feeder!
The company and the rhubarb sounds great!! I love rhubarb.
You may like squirrels, but the grackles don’t care for them at all. I watched a bird chasing a squirrel the other day. It was kind of funny. :ha:
There is a little bit of rhubarb crisp left, but I don’t expect it to last long. The good news is that there’s a lot more in the garden and it’s ready for harvest. :food:
I hope your visit was awesome!
That was super lucky about the computer. :yea:
Rhubarb Crisp, you say… sounds like a great treat. 🙂
Thanks Rosey, we had a wonderful time together.
At least we have the computer back and it is working okay. I still have a lot of work to get everything tied in to the network and there is more software to install and configure.
Rhubarb crisp is one of my favorites. Especially with a scoop of frozen yogurt on the side. :food:
So cute!
And part of the Master’s perfect plan. 😀
Those little rats know how to dress. Cute, aren’t they? :yea:
Yes, I believe they are cute. 8)
