The Squirrel Saga continues.  Saturday afternoon, I was sitting on the couch with my son, analyzing a new costume piece I was sewing for him.  Suddenly, I heard a loud crash right behind me which nearly caused me to hit the ceiling!  Having a sneaky suspicion, I was right (don't ask me how I knew, I just knew)...the squirrel had jumped onto the window screen behind the couch.  This is no easy feat.  It meant he had to leap from the deck, pretending to be Superman, and hopefully grab onto the window screen, which is two stories above the ground.  

Neither my son now I could believe this audacious squirrel!  He turned around and looked right at us through the window! He knew no fear!

Then, with the agility of Superman, he leapt back onto the deck and tried to get into our back door!

He looked at us right through the door.  Daringly, he once again leapt onto the window screen.  I forget how it all came to an end, but he finally left. I told my husband about it later and he couldn't believe it.  He asked to see my pictures.  I'm glad I had proof!  The next morning he told me he thought he knew why the squirrel was acting so strange.  Apparently my husband had moved a pile of acorns he had seen the squirrel bring into the yard.  He thought the earlier action of the squirrel laying out on the deck railing was his way of guarding his acorns.  Furthermore, my husband surmised, the attack at the window screen was his bold warning that we were to leave his territory alone!  Supporting the crazy squirrel, I told my husband to leave that squirrel's acorns in the yard. It's such a little thing for him to keep acorns there. It's his winter stockpile, which is important to him.  My husband laughingly agreed. Hopefully, this is the end of the Squirrel Saga.
