Squirrels have personalities. Most of them have AD/HD and a few I've known seem to have OCD! But not this one. This one has just come to my attention this year. The first time I noticed her was when I was in my bedroom on the second floor of my home rushing around to get to the theatre. It was a sunny work February day, and as an inspiration as I was turning to head down stairs, I thought to put a houseplant on the windowsill next to my bed to give it some direct sunlight. That's when I saw her stretched out on the warm outer brick ledge of the window grooming at first, then quickly switching to a full on nap. Two-floors up and me grateful for no Hawks in sight--they do visit the neighborhood.
I've seen her since methodically snooping around, looking for morsels. The other day she spent a good hour in my Japanese Maple nibbling on the sweet little seed buds. Then yesterday morning I caught her napping again. This time on the railing of my deck.Mostly I disdain squirrels. They just create so much havoc in the world. But this one? She's captured my curiosity...and I wonder, can my heart be far behind?
