Thankful Thursday October 7, 2021

Thankful for our helpful squirrels!

Seriously- our little friends grab the acorns

I put by the little sculpture

and sometimes they eat them up and other times

they plant them- I keep hoping an Oak tree

will show up! The acorn is right in front of the sculpture....

They are cute aren't they!

See... the acorn disappeared!

While we were down in Weed CA I gathered 

up a lot of acorns to see if I could get the acorns 

to propagate up here.

Many thanks to Brian for Thankful Thursday!

Have a great day everyone!

Cheers!

Do you have a bald squirrel?

We have been feeding our local squirrels for years now and have never seen a bald squirrel until this past month. "Harry" showed up about 2 weeks ago and the last time we went to
the Backyard Bird shop we asked what we could do for the hairless guy. So, they gave us this recipe:


For Squirrels with Mange

• slice of whole wheat bread
• butter with flax seed oil put on top
• spread peanut butter over that
• sprinkle with brewers yeast
• roll up into a log and cut into 3-4 pieces
• kind of squish each piece into a ball
• serve to your mangy squirrel

"Harry" seems to like this treat and he already looks healthier as his tail no longer is droopy but is curled high ! Thanks Backyard Bird shop!

PS it's been a few days now and he looks much
better...maybe we see hair growing? YAY!
