Squirrel watching with the special cousins, Berkeley, CA.
After our traditional first-Sunday-of-the-year brunch with the special aunt, uncle, and cousins (who?), we watched a squirrel shimmy up a pole on our porch and lower itself down onto the bird feeder (thus) and, more impressively, cantilever itself over to the bird feeder (thus). After several years in this locale, during most of which I’ve actively (sometimes stupidly) courted these little buggers, we’ve never seen one so imaginative.
Best wishes for the new year to you and yours! Also, after 12/27 I didn’t receive any updates from your blog in my blogreader. Hmmm. Very confusing.
