I love everyone's stories! Portia, I read a lot of British literature and watch a lot of British movies, and I have always wondered -- what is an airing cupboard?

LOL Juju -- I would never think you were body shaming your darling squirrels! :)  Tell them hello for me today.

I got my love of squirrels from the family of one of my childhood friends. They had a bay window in their living room. Outside, under that window, there was a concrete...I dunno...slab? It was as tall as the window sill and about 2 feet  wide. They had a grey squirrel (named Fluffy!) who would come sit there, like it was made for him. He would peer in the window, just like a human, with his little paws cupped around his eyes so he could see in better! Cutest darned thing I ever saw!! We would hand feed him peanuts and marshmallows.

I don't know why my squirrels here in my home town are so picky. They seem to want my birdseed and don't even want nuts or anything else. When I lived in Cheyenne, WY for a year, our squirrels would eat all sorts of things. We'd even feed them leftover macaroni and popcorn. They loved ears of corn. Here, if I put out fresh or dried corn, it sits for days until some bird eats it, and even then it takes days. Weird creatures!
