Tuesday’s Treasures…My Squirrels
Today is Squirrel Appreciation Day. Oh yes, I am aware that many do not appreciate squirrels and the havoc they bring to your home, especially when they choose to make your attic their playground.
Larry and I went out Sunday to Meyer Park looking for Mr. NoTail. He usually comes up to us and sometimes will follow us for more peanuts. We didn’t see him but I was excited when two other squirrels came up to us.
Lately I’ve seen Instagram posts (Angie Harmon) of people with pet or pet-adjacent squirrels.
When we moved back to Houston, it took me almost a year to gain the trust of a resident squirrel to take a peanut from me.
You can learn more about squirrels or if not go out and buy a bag of raw peanuts for them. By the way, they may not tell you, but they’ve taken grapes and strawberries from me!!
One more thing…
For our upcoming cold (frigid) weather, I’ve been making treats of peanut butter, oats, and fruit. They go in the fridge or freezer and I put them in our suet feeder for the birds or on the ground for your squirrels.
