Friends Of Nature

This little guy here has been a visitor at our home since he first left the tree. 3 years ago on a Saturday in Spring, this squirrel came into the yard. It so happened we were having a garage sale. Doughnuts were on the menu for breakfast, and he kept trying to grab them off of the porch. After several failed attempts and the irresistible cuteness of a baby squirrel, Hippie and her friend tossed him a powdered doughnut and he gobbled it down. It was hilarious because he had the white powder all over his face, kinda like a beard and mustache. Last year we let Rie feed him a mix of seeds and nuts and he became a daily visitor. He has grown comfortable with us and by the end of summer he had almost made his way inside the house.
