Our Squirrels

A few weeks ago when we went to Grandma and Grandpa Stuard's house we picked up a few hundred horse chestnuts off of their lawn and brought them home to feed the squirrels in our yard. We lined the fence and all of our stone with nuts and watched and waited for the squirrels. I think that the squirrels thought that they died and went to squirrel heaven. When they found the nuts they went crazy. They were chasing each other and gathering the nuts as fast as they could. By the end of the day the nuts were all gone. The kids and I had a good laugh watching them run back and forth gathering up their treasure of nuts. I don't know where their home is but it is safe to say that they will have plenty of food for the winter. In fact they might need to go on some sort of diet next spring. So if you come to our house and you see unusually pump squirrels you will know why.
