Unrelenting rain all day threatens to dampen my spirits. Cabin fever defines my mood. I threaten to complain, but words fall on deaf ears. Besides, I get a lot of studying done on days like this. Periodically my furry friend comes to my window, scratches around to get my attention, and then we flirt back and forth for a bit. After a while he leaves and I get back to my studies. Sigh. . .

Your squirrel friend is brave, probably because he doesn’t feel afraid of you. The way he comes to check up on you is so sweet and makes a nice little break from your studies.
Yes, it is a nice break. And I can keep my watch set by him, too. He comes to see me at 9:30am ever morning, like clockwork, stays for 15 or 20 minutes and then scampers away until the next day. Really cute.
That’s amazing, Cecelia.
Thanks Barbara. That little fella has become my buddy during these foul weather days. Glad you like the photo.
Aww. Looks like a good day to be inside though =P
Thanks for stopping by Cafe23. I appreciate it. And yes, it was indeed a good day to be inside.
isn’t it great to connect with the urban wildlife
Hang in there … soon Spring will be upon us!
Yes, I love the wildlife that appears to always be there, if we take time to notice. And Spring will be welcome whenever it comes! my favorite season of the year.
I love this picture…
Thanks Elizabeth.
Awww, love those Fox Squirrels! I would need some true motivation to do the studying that you are doing Cecelia. I think I would do so much better at school now that I have grown up and know what I want to be at 60
Yes, the squirrels are a delight to watch when I am shut in due to weather. As to school, I love the subjects I’m studying, and I have a definite goal in sight. . . BUT I can’t stand the pressure and time that it takes from other things that I find so enjoyable. It’s a mixed bag.
Love your furry friend…so neat that he is your clock stating it is time for a break to breathe and be glad you are dry inside….and studying!
Aw, he’s checking up on you…even in the rain. Margie
Yeah, he’s here every day. Actually I think I have two squirrels visiting me. There is enough difference in behavior, and a bit of a difference in the face (after a while you start to notice those things!) that I’m beginning to think that two squirrels are taking turns with the suet!
a gentle reminder that you are never alone.
Yes indeed. This little furry creature has become quite a friend. I’ve gotten to where I look for his/her arrival every morning. Sweet.
what a fun picture, and great capture! love that little guy/gal
Yup! S/he is a cutie. Comes by everyday at 9:30am like clockwork.
A curious little one…
Yes–s/he comes by every day.
The rain cleanses both the world and our souls – it brings new ideas. Good luck with your work
You are right. It is good to be reminded of that. Thanks for your well wishes, and for stopping by!
