A charming sentry, Sara. Very lovely. We have a chipmunk in the backyard living midst the squirrels and birds. He comes right by me when I’m sitting on the patio. Besides birdseed, we put out critter feed and the squirrels and chipmunks are in their glory thrilled about that. Blessings and hugs to you. :)

Regina, I like squirrels and chipmunks if they are away from my house because they will get into a house and can cause havoc with electrical wiring and other things. They do eat birdseed that I put out for the birds, but I would discourage them from eating it if I could. I only see a squirrel occasionally, but I am sure there ar those that I can't see out there. Thank you for your visit and uplifting comments ..Sara K.

Rob, they are interesting to watch run, play and disappear down a chipmunk hole so to speak. Your visit was delightful. Sara K.

Those varmints are out and about! Saw 5 squirrels playing in my yard yesterday.

Kim, they can be fun to watch and also horrible if they get in an attic. Thank you for dropping by and leaving such a nice review. Sara K.

Aw, I do love chipmunks, we don't have any here. Lovely poem of a Mother's Day moment, the plant waiting for the recipient I'm guessing :) I hope you had a blessed day Sara <3

The last line is great for a haiku. Hope you had a nice Mother's Day

Well, my Mother's Day was a stay-at-home day for me with Cody. One daughter took me out for lunch on Saturday and the other took me out on the Wednesday before Mother's Day. My son called me on Saturday a week before Mother's Day. Sara K
