Sciurus Griseus

"A squirrel is just a rat with a cuter outfit." ~Sarah Jessica Parker


Here is the Western Grey Squirrel. Munch, munch, munch, goes the corn as quickly as he can find it.

Scurry, scurry, scurry. Nibble, nibble, nibble. How quickly goes the the corn that we feed him.

It reminds me of me. Eating the sugar cookies that I can't stop baking. Quickly nibbled today with no thought for tomorrow.

P.S. I smile every time I hear the word nibbles. I have a funny memory attached to the word! *Ü*

I love the quote. It made me laugh. He sure is fat. I think we all have filled out since autumn. Snow? You guys aren't done with that yet? I think God might have given us some extra stuff to keep us warm. At least that's what I'm telling myself. :)

Watch that rear-end, mamapua! You'll catch up with me soon :o)

Ok if I steal a squirrel photo or two to change out my blog header now and again? You take some great pics!

Go for it, Beanball! Yes, I KNOW...I've stepped up the amount of "scurrying" I do to combat the effects of this cold winter and my new addiction to frosted sugar cookies! :o)

Love the quote...totally true in my book. A rodent is a rodent but gotta love that face. :)

Thanks for sharing your photos.
