Everyone may not like them, but I love squirrels and enjoy feeding and observing them. I have a little pail I keep by our rear door filled with peanuts just for my little friends. I also love feeding the birds and when I throw peanuts to the squirrels, I also feed my blue jay friends! Many times they will challenge a younger squirrel for the peanut and steal it for themselves! Feeding the birds is probably one of my top five favorite things to do!
Now that Halloween is over, I have relegated our painted and decorated pumpkins to one of the rear porches and keep my unpainted "naturals" on the front porch for Thanksgiving. Then I noticed one of my little friends helping himself! I couldn't help but smile and, of course, grab my camera! Enjoy the feast, my little buddy!
Squirrels crack me up! We love to watch them here too. That's so sweet that you take care of all the wildlife at your home. You are such a thoughtful and caring woman! :)
ReplyDeleteWe do provide fresh water for the birds, and we purposely plant sunflowers for our little goldfinches that we love. We used to leave seed mixes out in the past, but somehow got out of the habit. We plan on starting again, though!
