squirrel nap
Posted by Mauri on March 25, 2006
…my commute is short (one block) but often interesting. A bad commute is when I can’t walk right down the middle of School Street. Heading home for lunch yesterday I saw two squirrels in one of Dan and MaryAnn Ritter’s big trees. One squirrel was having his/her lunch, and the other was…on a limb stump maybe ten feet off the ground and very still. After watching for a moment, I said, “you OK?” and the squirrel said…not a word, and still no movement…at all. So again a little louder, “you OK?” and this time one eye opened a little and his/her head lifted…and squinting into the mid-day sunbreak that had been so gently warming, the squirrel distinctly said…”what the heck do you want?” All of which leads me to wonder how you tell his from her squirrels…at least from a distance.
