Feeling A Bit Squirrely?

I don't have as much wildlife in my backyard as RomaLee does, but I love my little squirrel friends that visit me daily!  All I have to do is put out the peanuts and they quickly come around.  Over the years we’ve had many squirrels and occasionally we get a few that will eat right out of our hand.

For several years we have had baby squirrels nests in our woodpile.  It’s so much fun to watch them run and play, jumping up and down and chasing each other through the trees.

There are a lot of lessons we can learn from watching squirrels:

*Store up for the future

*Eat whole foods

*Chatter each day with your friends

*Take time out to play

*Keep it simple

*Climb a tree just for the fun of it

*Don’t be threatened by the dogs around you

*Take risks

*Don't be afraid to try out the bungee chord…it’s really fun!

You can purchase one of these for your backyard at

Take time out this summer to enjoy the animals around you! 
You just might learn a thing or two!
