Meet Rocky

I think that the creator of Rocky the squirrel really got it right with his depiction of this little creature that, in real life, you love to hate.

After our recent trip to the pumpkin patch, I thoughtfully arranged little fall displays in the yard. My husband begged the question...how long until the squirrels start eating the pumpkins? The answer...less than 24 hours. However, they have been kind enough to concentrate all their efforts on one pumpkin, leaving the other two alone (so far.)

I admire their blase attitude towards me as if we have been old friends for so long. Today I pulled the car into the driveway to find Rocky the squirrel on top of my pumpkin snacking away. I got out of the car, went into the house, got my camera, and proceeded to take pictures of him and he was not the least bit phased by my presence.

So here he is...our very own Rocky the squirrel. I didn't even bother to name the pumpkin.

  1. This squirrel is very resourceful. I have never, ever seen a squirrel do this to a pumpkin. Thanks for enlightening me.
