What brought you joy today?

Eight squirrels came to my patio at once for walnuts this morning. They look for me through my windows and sometimes chatter to call me out. It was a squirrel party! So cute! Stayed about an hour. Just like Arnold, they’ll be back! They melt my heart! Sometimes when I’m standing outside not paying attention, one will tug on my pant leg to get my attention. When I come home and walk toward my condo they run up to me like little dogs. My dogs are all gone now so this is my only animal love unless a patient dog walker lets me love on their dog for a minute. I’m surrounded by huge pine trees so the squirrels all live in those. They also rattle my front door screen to get me to open the door. Luckily they haven’t figured out how to ring the doorbell — yet. LOL

A couple “pet” crows follow me for a mile on my walks. The mail carrier was shocked one day when she saw me throughout the neighborhood with a couple crows flying from building to building anticipating my route. Little juncos come in my patio and also land right in front of me on my walks to ask for walnut crumbs. Bunnies hang out but they just eat grass. Ducks and egrets occasionally hang out in the garden. Skunks are outside late at night. They are mellow just digging for grub. Never did they spray my dogs. Stomped their feet on occasion to say, back up. It’s all a very Snow White experience around here that makes my day. Nature is so beautiful and peaceful. 🥰
