Today I saw some squirrels enjoying a picnic with some humans, so I moved in closer for a better look...

| Suddenly one of the squirrels broke away and came barreling toward me. |
I can't deny I was flattered. And who says squirrels don't have good eyesight? Agreed, they frequently do not see the peanut on the ground in front of them, but I can attest to the fact that they always see me from afar. It's a bit of a mystery, but all I know is that when the Good Humor Cart arrives, the squirrels come running!

Gray Momma and I have been friends since that day she talked to me. It was after she'd had her babies, and she was apparently so hungry that she talked up a storm.

She talked for several days in a row after that, but hasn't talked since, although she now has other ways to show the love. For example, she climbs up my leg when she first sees me, and will stand by my cart, guarding it from other squirrels, the way she used to guard her babies' tree.

| GM no longer chases squirrels away from her tree but can often be found at the base, stealing the baby food. |

| The base of the tree is a popular hangout these days. |

| Comin' down! |

| Look what I found... |

| And who are you? |
