Weathersquirrel

The arctic front that has been predicted for this week has Squirrel in a panic. I have observed him and his friends/family frantically collecting and gnawing away pieces of my plant covers and taking off with them into the trees. I can see their large nests lined with green cloth. They took it all, there was nothing left but the string used to secure the covers. They started to tear up the chicken coop cover yesterday afternoon. They didn't do this in December. This behavior began a week ago. I thought maybe babies were coming, but no one looks in the family way at the moment.

The weathermen predicted  highs in the 60's and lows in the 40's for the weekend. Squirrel has me thinking something big is going to happen between now and this weekend. It's easy to get me hopeful about ice days.

Listen to the squirrels... in Montréal some predict the severity of the winter depending on how fat the squirrels get in the fall - a plump squirrel means a long, cold winter.

Love the pic :)
