Earl the Squirrel

February 18, 2014

feeding nuts to Earl the Squirrel

Remember Earl?
Our little squirrel friend?
He’s a grown man now but he still visits.
He’s been knocking on our window for nuts on these cold snowy days.

It will be a year this spring when Chris found baby Earl abandoned and brought him home.
He is still living out back in the big Silver Maple tree right outside Hannah’s window.
Chris can spot Earl a mile away and he even has a little “swish-swish-swish” call that he answers to.
Earl will still take a nut straight from Chris’s hand.

Sometimes I giggle when I am checking out at the grocery store with a basket full of almonds and walnuts. The cashier will say “You must be baking something good today!”
I just nod and smile.

    Love Earl ๐Ÿ™‚ I have quite a few squirrels that visit for peanuts and the bird’s food and they are always a delight ๐Ÿ™‚ They are comical relief…and I am quite attached to them! ๐Ÿ™‚
