Last spring I wrote about an orphaned owl we found near our house and brought to a wildlife rescue center.
It's only February but the wildlife around here has decided it's springtime again. One day I spotted a tubby squirrel hopping onto our deck. I'm guessing it was a "she" in nest-building mode. I'd been wondering what bird or animal was unraveling my cotton rug. It had been hanging on the deck rail to dry after a day of rain.
I made the rug for my dog but she never really liked it - Pebbles has an artistic sense - I think she objected to my sloppy crocheting - the rug, intended as the usual rectangle, turned out to be more of a trapezoid. I haven't seen the squirrel for the past week. I hope the ex-rug cotton makes a comfy nest for her kittens.
