The defining feature of the day was heat. Wow. I did get some laundry done, and worked on a database project I've become obsessed with. But I didn't move far or fast.
Neither did Trouble. This is Riley's offspring who has stayed around. I think Trouble is a good enough name for him/her. We can't have the bird feeders any more because we can't afford to feed the squirrel(s) too. We now have a fox squirrel hanging around too, and they are really pigs. And I think Trouble chews more than Riley did.
Anyway, these pictures were taken on a different hot day, but Trouble was pretty much slowed to a crawl as well.
I took the pictures because I've never seen a red squirrel just lie down and look less than alert out in the open like this (on our deck railing). Here's one through a cleaner window.
But it was oppressive enough today to keep me pretty much in a chair with a fan on.

Didn't take trouble long to outwear his welcome. Too bad about the bird feeders but I know how much those guys can eat when they get to one.
ReplyDeleteIt was that kind of day.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the squirrels lie flat on the roof, shed or fence to cool off.
ReplyDeleteWe put some food out in the feeder and whoever comes by can eat. I am not particular if it is the squirrels or the birds. I find the birds do a fine job of scooting the squirrels off the feeder when they are hungry...and the squirrels spread the seed around so everyone gets a shot at it all over the ground and such.
