Dear list members, I have been sitting at the same desk and looking out the same window for many years now and today the 'reality' of that Gestalt was completely altered by a squirrel sitting on the highest perch of a tree outside my window. Never in all the years of looking out this window have I ever seen anything but birds on this perch. The sight of a squirrel on the highest perch of a tree that only birds seemed to sit in is certainly an odd sight. This squirrel is 'nuts' by the way! :-) btw... the arctic blasts have subsided and the animals are pretty pleased about it. If you could see the contentment in the faces of animals after they have endured winter and spring is evident, you would have to smile yourself. It's a sight to behold I'll tell you.
