Hungry Hungry Squirrels







In a previous life, I'm pretty sure Grandpa used to be Grizzly Adams; he has quite the collection of wildlife at his house, most of which are squirrels and chipmunks, but if you have a keen eye, you can see the hummingbirds and loons, too. I'm pretty certain, however, that the population of squirrels is a direct result of the number of peanuts they're being fed. Addie has a great arm, so she finds it quite entertaining to throw the peanuts out to them; today, however, she discovered that there is something INSIDE the peanut shell, which provided several minutes of entertainment and serious concentration. This afternoon she realized that she can eat the peanuts, too; this may not go over well with the red squirrels. They are FEISTY and they're not afraid to give you an ear full.
