Stocking Up


Last year we had a billion (or so) walnuts and hickory nuts; this year very few.  Slim pickings for the squirrels and chipmunks.  First snow is forecast for today, so this guy is doing some late scrounging.

    That's a very big nut for a very little mouth. I hope he managed to get it stored away. Stay warm.

    We have billions of English walnuts and the chipmunks have been having a field day. So far we are sunny a low 30s...but no snow. Stay warm.

    Either he's a little squirrel or that's one gigantic nut. Good for him/her.

    You could send a few squirrels down here...we'll have acorns galore through the spring. Your squirrels are different...ours are gray. Dull. But they're still cute.

    How's the writing going?

    Hi Sharon...thanks for your comment on The Villages. The day I took that photo there must have been 50 plus of these things wandering about...mostly together. Very interesting.

    That one nut alone could feed a family of squirrels for a month!

    Good morning! Re your comments about Cody's...we have one of these restaurants in Ocala, also. Have only eaten there once, but it was good. The one in The Villages is generally crowded...it's a fun place without being too boisterous...

    "squirrel" (Ecureil)et le nom d'une banque en France, pas la plus économe... lol
    "Ecureuil" (squirrel) and the name of a bank in France, not the most efficient ..

    Darling photo, Sharon. We have a huge hazel tree that we never get any nuts from – oh, there are plenty, but the squirrels and jays beat us to it every year! Have a lovely weekend. – g

    We'll never know what to expect anymore. This year we had a tremendous nutty display from all the oaks. Giant acorns carpet the street. The squirrels have taken up bowling on my roof.

    Our walnut tree had a bumper crop, and we have a yard full of fat squirrels.

    Hi Sharon, I just noticed that you posted a comment on my 365 blog and I wanted to come by and say thanks. It is always fun to meet new bloggers! Now if I could just get back into the swing of blogging. :)

    Have a great day!

    very few pecans this year too- those squirrels destroyed any that we had and they ended up on the ground in bits and pieces!
