Early Morning Squirrel on the Back Deck Feeder, Mars, PA – January, 2019
Lessons from a Squirrel.
It pays to be nimble.
You can get what you want if you just stretch
your body and mind a little more than you think you can.
The early bird may get the worm,
but the early squirrel gets the birdseed.
Cheers & Warm Winter Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Well said Jodi. Now if that squirrel eating the birdseed just stretches itself just a bit more who knows it might just fly like a bird and soar to new horizons!

Sometimes they do if Charlie catches them by surprise 😁

Well said, Jodi! The squirrels are not only nimble thieves, but also true acrobats when sitting and twirling around on our hanging bird feeders. Great shot!

Lol. We’ve given up in that and just feed them too! Even Charlie doesn’t chase them much anymore. 🙄🤪

Hahaha! I certainly understand because they are relentless about getting what they want.

We must have similiar squirrels had 2 in my backyard the other day & because their tails are larger than they are, I thought we had four! I laughed at myself when I realized there were only 2. We have 2 different squirrels this big fluffy tailed one, who scampers all over the forest trees & appear to fly. And some smaller ones that are about the size of our wild rabbits.. Love your thoughts on the nibleness & stretching. Those little guys are clever, mischievious, & busy, busy hecklars & look out for flying pinecones & sead pods, because they toss them to the ground ( to get them to break) & they aim at the picnic tables & asphalt road. Thanks for the lovely photo & your insights.

They sure are entertaining – aren’t they?! We weren’t too thrilled when they chewed through the christmas lights (can you believe it??!!) – but no point fussing – LOL!

Love the way you think, Jodi. We really are more capable if we learn how to stretch and go beyond what we deem as our boundaries. Thank you for this post! And that squirrel is wayyyyyy cool! 💝

We can all learn a lot from squirrels! They never give up, and they are willing to go to almost any length to get what they need. I was once sick in bed, and my attention was caught by a squirrel busy “working” in the tree outside my window. I have to say, I got tired just watching how much energy he burned!
