Don't touch that squirrel's nuts!
There was a squirrel taunting Jas this morning. He was climbing all over the screened porch. And the next time we looked, he'd apparently invited himself onto the porch by way of a little spot where some of the screen has come away from the door.

We figured maybe he'd find his way out, but after a little while we figured we might want to help him along. So David went out the front door, around the house and opened the porch door. The squirrel ran to the back of the porch, then up the side. Then down, closer to the door, then up the side again. Finally, it ran out the door.

I'm thinking he probably wouldn't have figured out how to get out without destroying something. I hope he forgets about that spot in the screen. Note to self: Must get that fixed.

Speaking of squirrels, we saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the other night. If you haven't seen it, you should:

"Don't touch that squirrel's nuts! He'll go mad."

"They're testing to see if she's a bad nut. And... she is."
