This is so cute. There are fruit trees in our compound. Friends in grey coats often come and eat our fruits. Congratulations on your top win.

Thank you, Valsa. They visit our backyard and run around in Spring and Summer. I love to watch them.

Thank you so much, Darlene. I didn’t notice the contest before…then it was last minute…I love frisky squirrels.
