Sleeping squirrels

[greaterexp]

Everyone posts such great wildlife pictures here, and I sure enjoy them. Even with two ponds on our property, I never seem to catch a shot of all the beautiful wildlife. Here's a picture my husband captured of two sleeping squirrels. You might recognize the elder squirrel on the left.

Note the "squirrel" robes my daughter got us. We joke constantly about them.

[Morllyn]

Are these the common gray or brown squirrels?

😁

[greaterexp in reply to Morllyn]

Strawberry blonde?

[Morllyn in reply to greaterexp]

The rare Strawberry Blond squirrels! Wow! And napping!

How exciting! 😂🤣

Thank you for being such a good sport. You two look cozy in your blankets.

Love the 'nesting' photo and your matching robes, greaterexp . Were you both tuckered out after all the Christmas prep and projects you worked on when she was home visiting? 💕

[greaterexp in reply to WAshingtongirl]

Yes. We had tucked her two little ones in bed and thought we would enjoy an old movie after a very busy day. I think we lasted through the opening credits! Remember when we were young and thought staying up late was so glamorous and grown up? Ha!

[WAshingtongirl in reply to greaterexp]

Are you saying I'm no longer young?😂😂😂👵🏻

[greaterexp]

WAshingtongirl , you, my dear, are forever youthful! I should have referred only to myself, as I'm sure no one else can identify with that statement!

[WAshingtongirl in reply to greaterexp]

You're still a young squirrel compared to me. Actually, not THAT much younger...😉...but never worry about offending me regarding age. As they say, "Age is all in our head..." or something like that. And you know the condition of my head. Ha! 💞

[greaterexp in reply to WAshingtongirl]

I'm 57, warts and all. 16 with years of experience, right?!

So Sweet. Love it!

Oh how fortunate of your husband to be able to catch such a rarity as 'strawberry blonde' squirrels, they look sheer tuggered out. But so peaceful. Well done to the photographer 🐿 🐿 🦋🌈

[greaterexp in reply to jimeka]

jimeka , you have no idea how true your statement about my husband is! I despise having my picture taken, so he has to grab opportunities when he can. You finally got the picture of the squirrel robes!

Love the above humor...I think that's one of the things that makes this chat room so special! We are comfortable enough to share our personal (sometimes very personal ) problems, add self-deprecating humor, and chide one another 😊😊😊

greaterexp the photo sends out warm and fuzzy feelings 😊 And u 2 look like clones 👭

[greaterexp in reply to erash]

erash , I'm so relieved that we all share the gift of humor to lighten our burdens. My daughter and I have gotten more mileage out of those hideous, but oh so comfortable robes than we probably should have!

I love it! greaterexp it's adorable!💕🌠

[StacyHayward]

Now I want to see these squirrels in a tree!

[greaterexp in reply to StacyHayward]

StacyHayward , I've assumed my tree climbing days were behind me, but you never know!
