Our Bushy-tailed Friends

For some time now, we have had a little friend... a cute little squirrel that uses our fence as his own personal highway. The boys and I have had fun watching the squirrel on numbers of occasions. And at times, I think the squirrel has been fascinated with watching us watching him through the window. The boys get so excited it's hard to keep them from scaring him away, but some days we can watch for a while. Yesterday we saw our little friend in our tree in our backyard, and then we realized there was a SECOND ONE! I never got a very good picture of the two of them together, but I did get a cool picture of one of them trying to shield himself from the elements.

Here's our little friend in warmer times. Ben took these. We were sad the first was blurry, but it's still a fun picture. It's so fun to be able to enjoy nature, the wonder of God's beautiful creatures with my children from comfort of our own window!
