Squirrels

I was taking a break from this laptop as sometimes I feel like it is eating me alive, no pun intended as you will see further in my story. Sitting on the porch eating a bowl & apple & cinnamon oatmeal, I know strange. I am watching the new little batch of baby squirrels play along the fencing & gathering food we have out for them. I am counting, one, two, three, four, because there are always four,...and what is that???? A munchkin baby squirrel!! Just as I am really into this blissful serene moment, BAM! one of the bigger baby squirrels comes along & knocks him off the fence to the inside where I am. At first I felt really bad for this little munchkin squirrel but then I realized the squirrels had dropped a lot of food on the inside of the fence & he was in seed & nut Heaven! So....as I pull myself together from the first mishap I am sitting there enjoying another serene moment sticking my tongue out at the bigger baby squirrels thinking ha ha ha ha you pushed him off but now he's has all the leftovers & he is loving it! No sooner than that thought materialized in my mind than my stupid cat named UGLY came barreling off the porch chasing this poor little squirrel. Here I am out of work with a bad back trying to move fast enough to get in between the cat & the munchkin but the baby squirrel runs under the deck & the cat follows. Now I am listening trying to figure out if the baby is smart enough to hide or if my Ugly cat is playing the role of Jack the Ripper! I am going to check again...keep you updated...
