Hmmm....
I was on vacation in the mountains, and now I am home once more. It's rather hot. I'm rather bored.
SO I will tell you stories about small furry woodland creatures. =D (Plus a couple small feathery woodland creatures)
There were several animals we saw on the trip.
1 ground squirrel named Sven
1 grey tree squirrel named Foamy (after Neurotically Yours' Foamy the Squirrel)
1 rock squirrel named Rocky (RHPS, FTW!)
4 chipmunks named collectively Bullwinkle (hey, if you've got Rocky, you need Bullwinkle!)
1 chipmunk named Psycho, because he was.
1 nuthatch named Woody
3 chickadees named BobandGeorge
At least 6 blue jays named collectively Shingles.
The Shingles are very beautiful birds, but ridiculously mean. Rocky does not like them. Rocky does not like many things. Including Russians. We watched a reenactment of the Cold War via squirrels. Rocky (the All-American Redneck Squirrel) and Sven (my token Russian) got into a fight. The Russians ran away and we didn't see Sven again.
...I liked Sven. Psycho and the Bullwinkles just kept away from them and basically cleaned out the corn while they were fighting. GO CHIPPIES!
Woody was a very confused bird. he thought he was a squirrel. Or a woodpecker. We never quite found out. At first there were only two chickadees, and they were a matched pair, so we tried to call one of them Bob and the other George, but then we couldn't tell them apart, so we called them BobandGeorge. Then the next day there were three BobandGeorges.
Foamy had a staring contest with my sister that went roughly like this:
Foamy: Are you going to eat me?
Sis: No, I'm not.
Foamy: Are you going to eat me? I think you're going to eat me.
Sis: No, I'm really not.
Foamy: YOU'RE GOING TO EAT ME!
And then he ran away. Then we saw him again the next day and he was running away with a pinecone.
We don't need TV! (Which was good, since there's no TV up there.) We can just watch the squirrels, and they're their own soap opera.
