We have them by the dozens and they often can be found on our deck trying to hide a black walnut pod in a flower pot.Brenda@CoffeeTeaBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719695370857675146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596988245744679027.post-11288330065363362972017-10-24T10:12:01.351-04:002017-10-24T10:12:01.351-04:00I've always enjoyed watching squirrels as well...I've always enjoyed watching squirrels as well.

At our old house, we had plenty of trees in our yard, and there was forest in the back, but they would have had to travel over open fields to get to the yard. That is my guess, anyway. <br /><br />I would love to have seen your squirrel peeking in the kitchen window! :) <br /><br />I am amazed that you have so many deer in a neighborhood! We had them in woods at The Farmhouse, and they would come into the back fields, but they did not venture as far as the yard.
