Our Squirrel Population

This morning Hubby was watching the squirrels out the
window. He said there were so many he couldn't count
them all. He counted 12 and they were twittering around
so much he couldn't count any more. They love my bird
feeder and our endless supply of corn that we keep for
them! We keep 50 lbs. of corn in an automatic dog feeder
out in front of the house for them and some days all you
can see are a bunch of little fluffy tails poking out of the
swinging door! It looks so cute and our squirrels are
probably the fattest ones in the county. They're all just
rolly poly fat! And we think that maybe one of them has
a nest in the attic of the shed. She'll come out and eat a
little while then she runs back to the attic of the shed.
She has a little hole that she uses for an entrance up
under the eaves of the shed.

And another thing about our squirrels, most of them
have at least one white ear! The first one like this
that we noticed had both ears that were white. Next
thing you knew we had smaller squirrels that had
white ears, and some had 1 white ear. We've
watched these little white eared squirrels for about
5 years now. They just keep multiplying! They're
very unique looking.

The sun's been shining, the air has been
warm, and I made it through another day at work. But they're
predicting rain and storms for tonight and tomorrow. I'm a bit
concerned that everything that flooded a week ago will flood
again due to the fact that it hasn't had a chance to dry out really
good and there's just no where for the water to go since it can't
soak into the ground. The ground is so full that it's squishy in
places now.

I got to visit with my daughter for a little while today, she
came to work to see me. My oldest Grandmonster has an
appointment with the preschool teacher tomorrow. The
teacher contacted my daughter and asked if she could come
out and meet Jaylan. Jaylan is getting the reputation of a
smart little girl and they're wanting my daughter to put her
in preschool next school year. Our main concern is that she'd
have to be in preschool for 2 years because she'd be too young
to move on to kindergarten after just 1 year in preschool. We're
afraid that she'd be really bored the second year and won't
progress as well.

Hubby and I cheated again and ate out. lol We had a big
pizza tonight, Meat Lovers with extra cheese. MMmmmmm,
Yummy!! It's hard to beat pizza.

I have this huge bag of hair scrunchies that I've made from
mostly scraps left over from other sewing projects. I really
don't have anything invested in them, just the cost of the
elastic band inside the scrunchies. So I took them to school
with me this evening and let the volleyball girls go through
the bag and each of them got some. Those girls had a
blast! They had scrunchies scattered all around the bag on
the gym floor. Today was their last day of practice, they
start the tournament tomorrow evening. I know all the
girls because I have to clean the gym and locker room after
they finish their practice, so I run in to them all the time.
They're a good bunch of kids.

I sold five of the little burp cloths today. Had a gal come
pick them up about noon. So, I'm getting ready to make
some more. I have 2 already pinned together and ready
to sew. I think tonight I'll try to finish pinning the ones
I have left and then in the morning I'll sew them all up.
Wish me luck!!
