Squirrels can be relentless in the preparations for winter. Enjoyed your Tanka, Kim. Have a great week, my friend. Bill

The squirrels again - I love them. They're as much fun to watch as are kittens. Thank you Kim :)

Wondering where he can hide it with winter approaching. We have a grey squirrel visit our garden sometimes, they're fast movers. Hope your Sunday is going well Kim. Tom
