So when the temps got hot, we started noticing that the squirrel that lives in the top of the tree moved to lower, shadier and hopefully cooler quarters .
In fact, today, she had even dug a place in the ground at the base and was laying out like a bear rug in the mud.
John and I have been making friends by leaving gifts of raw cashews, sunflower seeds and almonds with an occasional date or two. And she no longer runs up the tree when we come to put our gifts in the branches. Our friend, Kacie, snapped these really great photos.
I'm glad to have closeups of Mrs. Squirrel.

Oh my! We have the EXACT same thing going on at our house. One particular squirrel hangs out at the base of our tree in the backyard (to the point that the grass no longer grows there) He's there all day long every time I walk by the window and only runs up the tree if we let the dog outside!! Funny stuff!
