Fat squirrels!(cute pictures)

I don’t know what the farmers almanac says, but these chunky boys are telling me that it’s going to be a cold winter because all of them on the Common are now seriously Fatty McFatfaces

3. I love squirrels.

We've started to see a few black squirrels here in the far northwest Chicago suburbs. Used to see them al the time when we lived in the Washington DC area. Their fur gleams in the sunlight - just beautiful. some of "our" squirrels that frequent our patio have white fur on their ears.
