Each year, we seem to have an excess of something which becomes thematic for the weekend.
This year, it was the resident chipmunks. Or in this case, more accurately, the somewhat elusive golden mantled ground squirrels.
They've been a bit indulged with their very own fancy hidey-hole in the cabin steps, which they utilize thoroughly.
Their favorite thing is peanuts - and they will absolutely stuff their cheeks full. But they will settle for salad ingredients.
It was absolutely gorgeous all weekend, so we ate many afternoon meals outdoors. The ground squirrels kept us company. Up to four or more at a time.
They are quite fearless, and would climb a lap or shoulder in search of more treats.
And were not adverse to outright 'begging' for more.
- even when it appeared that any *more* and their cheeks might explode!
They would also happily feed off your fork or plate. And occasionally mistake a finger for a peanut.
Gudrun constructed one out of Sculpy. 'Thought the one posing with it hilarious. :-)
