Squirrel Story

This morning at around 8:00 am, I was awakened by an unusual sound. Since we live in the country, strange sounds are common, but this one, I could not identify and it seemed rather close

And OMG, I did not think about taking a photo,and posting it here

I walk quietly toward the screened in porch, where in the summer, the parrots have big perches and lots of goodies to eat. My partner in crime bought the birds a food thing that is shaped like a rectangle and hangs down for them to play and eat. Ok, so I arrive at the porch (birds are still asleep in the living room btw.) Here, in plain view is a squirrel up on the screen in spread eagle position

as if it were stopped on a DUI and was being searched

(still mad I didn't take a photo) Apparently, squirrels can smell particular bird food and may do anything to get at it

I awoke Pat, in a dead sleep and said, "you have got to see this". She gets up and witnesses the squirrel, dogs get up, bark and away "Rocky" jumped off the screen and ran up a tree

Crazy start of the day, and then the Cubs get spanked by the White Sox at Sox home field

for now
