I absolutely love squirrels, as does Nefret. I blame Beatrix Potter and Squirrel Nutkin for the fascination. We have a lovely tufted eared mama squirrel in our backyard...with her family who chatters at us whenever we even walk toward the back...she loves to bury nuts in my garden beds and potted plants. I would love to spend time in your backyard with your resident squirrels...I find them endlessly amusing. My neighbor, Emile tries to shoot them with a b.b. gun but hides the gun when I come out...he does not want to hear my advocacy speeches for the prevention of cruelty to squirrels, yet again. He has a fig tree that they like to despoil.
awww, chipmunks are so cute! We don't have any chipmunks down here, what do they like to eat? We bought a special bag of mixed nuts for the squirrels this week, they will be feasting tomorrow as well.
I hope your feast day is absolutely flawless.
I dreamed about you last night...well, it was a dream about children leaving home and how sad it makes the parents. When we saw Paul McCartney in concert a few weeks ago I cried throughout the entire song,"She is leaving"...so beautiful, so sad when children grow up and don't need you as much as they once did. The song played throughout the entire dream, the dream seemed to convey that you were caught between being the prickly pear and the odd duck, and that the odd duck was best for your self happiness. I don't know, it was an odd dream that woke me up...smiles, I took a hot bath and worked a bit on my underdrawing. Hope that you don't find odd ducks too annoying, and let the prickly pear parts sink to the bottom, to stick in to something else.
oh missus bean, missus bean, my plate is scrubbed clean and they've run out of nuts at this place; the party was fine once they dragged out the wine, but I'm more into stuffing my face. the games were divine, the best riddles were mine, and the music was lively and sweet, but after the jumping and flying around I'd like something else good to eat. missus bean, missus bean, you're so good and kind and you've pictured us all at the fray; but you'd be most remiss, and get not one kiss if you left our plates empty this way. now nefrit, my dear, i must make it clear that your birthday fest was quite a hit, and all of us squirrels from over the world are happy to celebrate it. and our host missus bean, or star as you know has cooked up a scrumptutous dinner so let's all dig in, and not flap our chins, for this birthday cake is a winner!
oh THANK YOU so much!!!! that was so darling and wonderful and sweet of you!! i have this huge googly grin now. its so cute, this is definitely going in my memory patch!

oh missus bean, missus bean, my plate is scrubbed clean
and they've run out of nuts at this place;
the party was fine once they dragged out the wine,
but I'm more into stuffing my face.
the games were divine, the best riddles were mine,
and the music was lively and sweet,
but after the jumping and flying around
I'd like something else good to eat.
missus bean, missus bean, you're so good and kind
and you've pictured us all at the fray;
but you'd be most remiss, and get not one kiss
if you left our plates empty this way.
now nefrit, my dear, i must make it clear
that your birthday fest was quite a hit,
and all of us squirrels from over the world
are happy to celebrate it.
and our host missus bean, or star as you know
has cooked up a scrumptutous dinner
so let's all dig in, and not flap our chins,
for this birthday cake is a winner!
Sincerely,
Grand Poobah Nutkin :p
