From Tony: Quincy!


From Tony: Quincy

I have always had a special place in my heart for squirrels.

Our Syb has squirrels who she feeds peanuts too. When she told me that, I thought, I would so love to have a squirrel buddy.

One of the reasons I love our home is that there are lots of squirrels.So over time, a squirrel I named Quincy would come on the balcony and look at me through the window. I started by putting nuts outside the door and he would come every day to eat.

Then as we got used to each other he would come in and get nuts inside the door. Then he chewed a handy opening in the screen and started coming in and taking nuts from my hands.

Now he is so comfortable that he sits on the arms of the chairs and even our laps. We leave a bag of peanuts on the kitchen counter, and he scampers up and gets one. Just today he started burying nuts in the blanket on the couch.

This is such a gift and a delight for me! My life is always listening to my lightly held desires, and making them manifest! Love, Tony
