Squirrel Nutkin

This squirrel was acting kind of silly, doing back flips and hanging upside down from a low branch. She's one of my friendly 'outdoor babies' and let me take her picture. She might be thinking: "why did you interrupt my Happy Springtime Dance?"!

 Over on my other blog, "My Family News" I have been trying to do the 365 (this year, 366) picture thing. As in, you take and post a picture every day. I've managed to keep up with it, so far, but it's hard. Nobody's life is that exciting and I don't have any little kids who will pose for me. Most of my shots are of nature around  my house! But I've gotten this far, into nearly the end of March, so I think I can swing the rest of the year.

Gloomy, rainy day

It's been raining all day. That's fine with me if it washes away most of the snow. Trouble is flooding that makes big puddles that will freeze. Right now, it's all yucky slush out there besides big piles of snow.

My squirrel babies came to visit and looked terribly pathetic with their wet coats. I gave them lots of peanuts. Of course, the birds got their seeds, too.

This was a good day to blog hop and crochet. In between blogs I'm working on the socks I started a million years ago. So far today I think I've done 10 rounds, which makes about 600 stitches. I am jealous of these people who can turn out one pair after another. This is my first and I'm only working on it a little at a time.

I took a break from hopping and crocheting to write in my own blog, before the laptop battery runs out. I'm sitting on my bed with it.

Don't you think if someone is meant to be portable and on your lap it would have a battery that lasts longer than an hour?
