Day 46
I thought I would have a little fun!
There was this curious squirrel feeding and filling is face from the bird feeder. He loves to sit on the roof, or hang upside down while eating the seeds!
The chickadees, complain, but, they wait their turn at the feeder. They do have manners.
Mr. PG (our town's mascot) decided he would like to feed the birds and yes the squirrel too!
Mr. PG, sat on the ledge patiently waiting... the squirrel was first to arrive, he could smell the seeds..but was not sure about Mr. PG... and stayed far far away from him, watching Mr. PG with one eye while he ate the seeds that had fallen on the deck.
The chickadees were not afraid, the flew down in turn introducing themselves, eating the seeds and chatting with the other birds who were all waiting for their turn. Mr Squirrel in the meanwhile sat up in the nearby tree and watched the birds. When the birds were done eating, they flew off. That is when the squirrel came down, checked out Mr. PG, for himself and decided he was harmless and the seeds were a nice offering in friendship!

I wonder if I put Mr. PG outside again in a day or two... would the squirrel remember him?
Thank you for taking a look!
Enjoying Life, One Sip at a Time!

I just received a request from The Program Secretary at the Prince George Cancer Clinic. She is putting the photo of Mr. PG and Squirrel on Display at the Clinic! I hope this picture puts smiles on many faces.... I am truly honored!

A classic indium “curiosity killed the cat” comes to mind as you look at this critter stretching out to investigate. It suggests that being too curious can bring troubles to you. The lure of a treat is just too over whelming. I guess “satisfaction brought it back” was the true remedy. There are a few English idioms that have the squirrel as the focus. “To squirrel away” suggests hiding/ keeping a little bit at a time for a special something. To “squirrel out”, is not as well known , means to avoid or escape a situation through sly or devious means.
