squirrels

this is the way edgar wakes up. witness an actual sequence of a rousing from a snooze in the car.

he seems to be a morning person, an evening person, and a mid-afternoon person... what a good sport.

esther and i watched a mama squirrel improve upon her nest in the linden tree this evening; with nimble paws and teeth that squirrel danced among the branches, nipping off leafy twigs as she went.

if we held our breath just right, we could hear the soft mewling of her kits, way up high. it will be exciting to keep an eye on their progress...and one eye on horton as well.
