How's this for a way to stock up for the coming winter?
- Wait on a branch while Busy Little Squirrel brings peanuts (yes, our neighbor actually feeds squirrels; don't get me started) from the feeder in the yard behind us.
- Continue to watch and wait while Busy Little Squirrel navigates the fence, climbs down the cherry tree and buries the peanuts right below Sneaky Lounging Squirrel.
- While Busy Little Squirrel hurries back to the feeder for another load, quickly run down the tree, unearth newly buried peanut/s and run them across the street to your own private stash under another neighbor's fir tree. Return and wait.
- Surely I have more interesting things to do with my time than watching Busy Little Squirrel and Sneaky Lounging Squirrel playing their peanut game!

That is a great photo. And funny narrative.
I once watched a squirrel haul a half a pizza up to its nest, but I didn't get to see how it got it inside the small entrance hole. When I returned from class, there was no sign of the pizza anywhere, so I guess Pizza Squirrel was successful.
That's so funny. I can think of nothing more interesting and entertaining than watching that scene.
