In neat little piles, outside my back door

Sat a bunch of mysterious mounds

I’m not really sure what exactly they were

Only saw they were perfectly round

Went out to the garage to fetch the rake

Needed to clean up the mess, such trash

But when I came back, the mounds were gone

Seems they all disappeared, in a flash

Well, I haven’t seen them since that day

And so they remain, quite a curious thing

I’m hoping to never see them again, but

I’m sure they’ll be back, come next spring

img_3485Hi there, remember me?  I’m Gandolph (the gray).  My human named me that.  I’m sitting up here, in the snow, waiting for lunch 🙂

img_3493Finally!  OK, I hope no one noticed I took more than my share.  Darn, there’s that human behind the camera.  Looks like she caught me, again….

Ouch!  Poked my nose!! Can’t they buy shelled peanuts??!!  You who, human, no more shells, please!

OK, last one!  Om nom nom.  That is until I jump off this wall and go get more!  Till next time..

Love Gandolph the Gray (Squirrel)  🙂

Photographer’s note:  For those who don’t know Gandolph, hubby named him that.  He’s my buddy and will actually listen to me when I tell him it’s ok to get a peanut.  I love my backyard and all the critters that come with it 🙂

I believe this is a Cooper’s Hawk.  He was scoping out the backyard and found his prey.  He had to come back for it though, once he saw me, he stopped & posed lol
