A couple weeks ago, or maybe it was a bit more-it’s not important anyway-I was coming home after a day of fun, work, play, or some combination of the three. As I unlocked the door, I heard something behind me so I turned to see what it was. Behind me was a squirrel staring at me as if he would like to ask me if he could find some cozy shelter inside my flat, but he didn’t utter a single word and I just went inside.

Today, Jer told me that he thinks it may be mating season for the cute little rodents. Crap! If I had known this, I might have offered some dinner and fine wine by candlelight, then…....who knows what might happen. I could have been introduced into the world of sweet squirrel love. Next time I will be prepared. Actually…perhaps I ought to do some squirrel hunting this weekend-as long as the weather improves enough to tempt some into coming out from their little squirrel homes. Anyway, I will get my nuts ready for you, my little rodent companion.
