Earl the Squirrel

We have had a little friend coming by our house for the past week or so. We named him Earl. He comes by when we are hanging out in the kitchen, usually in the morning. He first arrived when Aden was here last week and we fed him some of our pina colada pancakes. We threw him some cheerios yesterday and today he scored some almonds! He isn't a dumb little guy because he isn't bringing his buddies, he's just getting everything for himself. He shows up all alone and will even scratch on our window to get our attention. He still gets a little nervous if we get too close, but he will run up and grab a piece of food, then run up our deck post and munch on his food at the top of the post. This is a pic of him today eating an almond. We are glad Earl comes to visit, he creates a lot of excitement! Doug says he is just a squirrel trying to get a nut just like the rest of us!
