Chipper
is losing his winter fur. He hasn’t been around much lately. I suppose he was hibernating
for most of the winter. It sure is a sweet surprise to see his silly little
antics entertaining my backyard. For the first time he meant ‘Spot’ my snowshoe
hare. He jumped, chirped angrily, only to realize that the fluffy white
creature was of no harm to him or his stash of food placed in the birdhouse on
my smoke-house. Nevertheless, he’s keeping a watchful eye on the white snowshoe
hare. He’s still skeptical, but he seems quite comfortable having a new
neighbor. I wonder if he will ever welcome another squirrel to the village. It
sure would be nice to watch him start a little spring-time family.
