conulythe squirrel has finally been joined by her friend! I was getting concerned that I only ever saw one squirrel this year, but now they're both here.
And getting really bold, too! I need to find some way to discourage them from banging at my window. They're not starving, though you wouldn't know it from the greedy way the one squirrel keeps trying to grab all the nuts at once! It never ends well.
