... well he has full reign over the old chicken coop now that it is uninhabited. He has even taken over the birdhouses. Seriously. Isaac and I watched as he exited the chicken coop, climbed onto the roof of the garage and performed Spiderman-like acrobatics in order to climb up into this old abandoned birdhouse without touching the ground or falling. I then had the pleasure of taking several photos of him as he just sunbathed from the birdhouse entryway.
But then, I got this bright idea to get closer to him and offer him some food from my hands. He sniffed it a bit ... and within seconds bounded out of the birdhouse and lept straight at me ... a brief attack ... then he ran off into the bushes. I screamed so loud that Halis came running from within the house. Isaac was standing there as it happened ... and after my initial shock, he and I got a big laugh out of it. Silly squirrel thinks he owns the place now.
No harm done. No tetanus shots needed. Just some surface scratches and a funny tale to tell.
Love,
Jodi

oh, that just gave me a really good laugh--to imagine you being so calm and quiet, trying to get the squirrel to come to you, then an attack. i wish i could have witnessed that! it looks like you had the composure, though, not to throw your camera!
Sweet pictures! I really love that top one. Those little guys are so fun to watch!
