Welp, it was just a matter of time (and quite frankly, I’m surprised it took this long) but the local squirrels have discovered both of my free buffets.

The character with the torn ear pictured above claims the front yard feeder. I have not yet determined whether it is a boy or girl but I do know it is not in the least bit intimidated by me. I assigned it the name Rip Torn (since the original owner of that moniker is no longer alive, I don’t think he’ll mind).

So far, my furry friends have been polite guests and I do enjoy watching their antics. Besides, Rip Torn showed up with a little blue flower stuck to his head the other day, what’s not to love about that?
