Am I the only one with the bird feeders still out and filled? I think I will leave them up all summer as I am enjoying the wildlife which, at this point, includes this wild little creature, the gray squirrel. I should name her….Sunflower? She is at the feeder relentlessly. She jumps from the bird bath to the feeder 
and rides the rings around the feeder hanging upside down and contorting her little body until she achieves the desired perfect feeding position. 
Gray squirrels can be quite destructive if they get inside the attic or crawl space as they are such frenzied little creatures. Their cuddly looking tail belies the nervous energy and muscular physique of the owner. No one could ever pet a squirrel and enjoy the softness of that tail. 
I have forgiven this one its’ persistent and unfailing hunger. I think Sunflower is enjoying the sunflower seeds because she is a nursing mother. 
I wonder where the little critters are nesting? Can you see that I haven’t cleaned out this garden yet? I am too busy watching squirrels. I will get it done. I am way behind schedule! Does anyone else feel that way? I guess it is time to make a list and whittle away at it. Time is getting short and soon, Spring Fling!
