Nuts to Nuts

Nuts to Nuts

Know what drives me nuts?

(...among many things, of course...)

It's when you see a squirrel on the back deck,

and it's very cold outside,
and there is some snow on the ground,

and you just know that finding food is a problem for those cute little guys...

and so you dip your hand into the dish of mixed nuts on the coffee table,

and ever-so-quietly open the sliding glass door and throw a bunch of nuts out onto the deck, so the little gray-guy can have a meal...

and he's so scared of the noise of the door sliding open, that he bolts down the deck post, over to a tree branch, and far away from the house, only to miss out on that wonderful meal of a handful of nuts.

Nuts!

I hope he waits, sees that I'm back inside with the door closed and locked again, and has the nerve to come creeping back up to the deck from the woods, to discover that little bit of nutty heaven I have thrown out for him or her.

I worry about them.

Even though Paul calls them "bushy-tailed rodents," to me they are All God's Creatures, of the small variety, and deserve a little help now and then.

Cheers,

Bex
