Boo to snow! When do you expect spring to arrive? I would have lost my mind by now! I've already have had a sunburn from working in the flower beds. I hope spring comes soon for you!
That little squirrel is not camera shy... Do you think he would come in your house if you let him... He'll eat out of your hand too, right? have you tried to pet him?
I do feed him by hand, but I've never pet him. Two reasons; one is he doesn't want me too and the other is I figure I should respect the fact that he is a wild animal. Although he doesn't seem like it sometimes. He follows me around the yard and sits next to me on the steps of the porch. We have some good conversations! He does come up to the door looking for peanuts, he probably would come in if I let him. But my cats would jump on him. He has been busy the last few days gathering dry leaves to spruce up his drey (squirrel's nest.) He lives in a big maple tree in my front yard.

Welcome!
Hello!~Aaniin! ~Bonjour!
I'm a homeschooling mom with 3 kids. The two oldest have graduated from homeschool. Our oldest now owns her own Photography business. Our middle son is in college studying
Culinary Arts and the youngest son age 11 is an Interest Led Homeschooler, who loves history! and this is our family's homeschool journal... The Purple Squirrel.
We are an Ojibwe/French family and we love to celebrate our heritage, learning the language, customs and honoring our ancestors.
We travel about our lives on planet Earth and learn from every place, every person and every situation we happen upon. I like to refer to us as Earth Learners.
We read, write, discover, roam the woods, sleep in late, if we feel like it. We cook and do chores. We love to learn about different cultures and our elder brothers (the animals and the plants.) My job as homeschooling mom is to trust. Trust my kids will grow into intelligent, caring, responsible adults.
Fingers crossed! ~

Hey Gwen,
I do feed him by hand, but I've never pet him. Two reasons; one is he doesn't want me too and the other is I figure I should respect the fact that he is a wild animal. Although he doesn't seem like it sometimes.
He follows me around the yard and sits next to me on the steps of the porch. We have some good conversations! He does come up to the door looking for peanuts, he probably would come in if I let him. But my cats would jump on him.

It sure is nice to be able to see nature up close... and gain its trust
