We feed Squiggy and his family peanuts, he goes out and buries them at the base of the pine trees, all the while the big black birds are watching.
As soon as Squiggy leaves the black bird goes and steals his peanut.
Squiggy will chase them but he doesn't get his peanut back.
This has gone on all morning.
Squiggy retrieving a peanut.
Gran.....I had to do a double take and a quick search, on your Squiggy.
I’ve never seen a squirrel with bunny ears, before. He’s adorable!
Our squirrels have little round ears.
So interesting...

I think you are right.
Interesting they won’t release all the capitol security footage so the public can see what really happened.
Nasty is refusing to release most of the video.
She, also, is refusing to release her e-mail or cell phone records.
Jim Jordan is working on something to get to the bottom of what REALLY happened on J6.
Remember the good work Nunes did on blowing the whistle and telling the truth on Russia, Russia, Russia?
Hope this is what Jordan is doing.
Stay tuned!
Do you use machines? The farm i posted about does. My experience is years ago with my dad’s small operation and I milked the goats by hand. That was BA, before arthritis. We just sold the milk, mostly to people allergic to cow’s milk.
Exactly.
What a great way to spend time! The animals are smarter than a lot of people.
“And wasn’t a lot of the smashing and breaking in happening on a different side of the capitol building than where the rally-goers walked to?”
I heard a Newsmax reporter this AM that was there with actual Trump supporters that attested to this very thing.
Poor Squiggy, all that work!
At least he has a steady supply of food 😋
I don’t suppose he’s figured out he doesn’t need to hoard anything?
Pizza does sound good. Or maybe just ice cream 😋
Yup, that’s our squirrels, Abert’s squirrel.
They have the largest Ponderosa Pine stand in the world to nosh on when hungry.
But they LOVE raw peanuts too.
“ Remember the ruling during the depression that a farmer couldn’t grow wheat to feed his livestock?”
I didn’t know that. So insanity has been around for at least 100 years
I’m with you - throw everything out and start all over, as the Founding Fathers intended
It sure is fun!
It has warmed up today, so they are so animated chasing each other up and down the pine trees, around and around they go.
I use a machine - it’s smaller (designed for backyard farms) and not expensive but it gets the job done. I can get a few quarts in less than 30 minutes. I take it straight to the kitchen, bring it to 165 for 15 seconds, throw it in the countertop ice cream maker until it cools to 40 degrees and put it in the fridge.
When our power was out I had to milk by hand for a week and it took forever. i have arthritis and could not do that every day
I think it is in a squirrel’s DNA to hoard.
The people nest door have an A-frame home.
They replaced the shingles with metal and uncovered tons of peanuts the squirrels had hoarded.
I guess that is where the term “squirrled away” comes from.
Yes. They are in a bubble. Their clerks are in a bubble, influenced by the deep state. They talk only to each other, or other bubble inhabitants. The clerks have an eye to future employment and where they want to end up. This influences their research and interpretation of the research.
This, IMO, is another reason Schumer wants to pack the court.
Conservative staff seem to be more fact based. Tender mercies for the country.
Our squirrels bury their acorns in my vegetable garden beds, or in our planted pots. They make me crazy. I will tell them to go to Arizona. ;)
Supreme Court skeptical of Biden’s workplace vaccine rule
By MARK SHERMAN and JESSICA GRESKO
29 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court’s conservative majority appeared skeptical Friday of the Biden administration’s authority to impose a vaccine-or-testing requirement on the nation’s large employers. The court seemed more open to a separate vaccine mandate for most health care workers.
The arguments in the two cases come at a time of spiking coronavirus cases because of the omicron variant, and the decision Friday by seven justices to wear masks for the first time while hearing arguments reflected the new phase of the pandemic.
An eighth justice, Sonia Sotomayor, a diabetic since childhood, didn’t even appear in the courtroom, choosing to remain in her office at the court and take part remotely. Two lawyers, representing Ohio and Louisiana, argued by telephone after recent positive COVID-19 tests, state officials said.
But the COVID circumstances did not appear to outweigh the views of the court’s six conservatives that the administration overstepped its authority in its vaccine-or-testing requirement for businesses with at least 100 employees.
“This is something the federal government has never done before,” Chief Justice John Roberts said, casting doubt on the administration’s argument that a half-century established law, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, confers such broad authority.
Roberts and Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett probably hold the key to the outcome in both cases, as they have been more receptive to state-level vaccine requirements than the other three conservative justices. Barrett and Kavanaugh also had tough questions for Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, the administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer.

Lawyers in general are an arrogant lot also. I’ve met many that think the law degree confers expertise in everything!
Ours do the same thing here so please keep your squirrels.
I put plants out on the front nd back porched during the summer and I have to de-peanut them often.
