Today is one of those weird amalgams of a day when we celebrate everything from cheesy socks (that’s every day for me) to sweatpants (also pretty much every day for me) to hugs (with family and friends, of course that’s me) to … squirrels.
Sometimes they’re annoying, like when they raid the bird feeders or uproot your plants so they can hide their nuts and seeds (that they’ll forget about, which is inadvertently a good thing when they sprout). But they can also be funny and endlessly entertaining. Kevin, Sarah’s backyard squirrel, may be expecting some love today, though …
There was a squirrel gang that used to harass Luke. He was not a fan.
Kevin is amusing in his acrobatics. Not so much his sometimes breaking in to where the seed is stored.
Those squirrels are everywhere! But not in the restroom.

All right, how many dancing squirrels can there possibly be? Image found on me.me.
But first he needs to find some hair dye so he won’t stick out quite so much. Image found on funnyjunksite.
Here we see the dizzy squirrel in its natural habitat. GIF found on gifbin.
Hold it, people! Settle your butts, I’m tryin’ to talk here! Photo by Carl Wilkinson found on BackyardSquirrels.
And if you don’t mind, could you spare some pecans … and peanuts … and whatever other nuts you have … thanks! Image found on Pinterest.
No, squirrel, you can’t come in, so stop scratching at the window. Image found on Pinterest.

I'm a retiree in his seventies. That may not be significant to many, since there is a bunch of us Baby Boomers around. However, in the year 2,000, when I received a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, I expected to be dead in three to five years.
