It's Peanut! Greetings from a squirrel.

Peanut is one of many squirrels who have befriended me in my yard. I am certain it is for companionship, and not necessarily because they know I have nuts in my pocket. They are reliable friends for me, even though they are not very good listeners. I will continue to give them nuts, if nothing else, for the joy of watching them springing happily across the lawn.
