Every year I hang a large wreath on our front door. Well this year every time I would go out the front door I would find bits and pieces of the wreath had fallen off. I would mutter to myself about the quality of workmanship seems to be going down the drain, etc,etc.... thinking next year I will be back to making them myself.
our resident squirrel, who normally is very well behaved. I do think the snow has got to him. He normally hangs out by my studio and the bird feeders, being very acrobatic and hilariously entertaining. But today was different. He won my heart over so I painted a pine cone with peanut butter and rolled it in sunflower seeds for him. He was most thankful. As I went back into the house I muttered my apologies to the wreath maker and made a mental note to get Chester his own wreath next year. The little angel. Mmmm.......LOL! I need a nap...........................

Oh Sharon, you just warmed my heart! What a cutie, we don't have squirrels within a half mile radius of our house, and I truly miss their antics! Chester is adorable, he and you really made me smile!
Blessings,

Thank you ladies. In a n update or news flash Chester has returned and is holding my wreath ( or parts of it) for ransom. More peanut butter and sunflower seeds are on the way......LOL
Oh that little Chester!!! He is too cute to be angry with :-)
Smiles,Pat
Sharon, I've always been fascinated by squirrels, nothing like them in Oz. He's very lucky to have such a giving neighbour as you, peanut butter and sesame seeds sounds delicious ! Does he live alone or have a whole family to feed I wonder?
Hooroo,

I do believe Chester has a lady friend as I saw him making a nest last Sept. There was another squirrel giving directions. Had to be a lady. RIGHT. So I am sure he has a family other than me.
Chester's a cutie, Sharon! We used to have one who actually climbed up the cedar shake siding on one of our houses to eat the Indian corn in the fall!
Thanks for stopping by my blog for the chickadee give-away! Consider yourself entered! Hope you'll post about it here. :-)
Your little embroideries are lovely! So delicate.
