Cabin Intruders....These Guys Are Nuts!

The gloomy, damp weather continued through yesterday and into this morning.

Needless to say, the farm is quite muddy.

I had a lot of time to knit yesterday, as Hubbs had shoulder surgery.

I spent the day away from the farm

and finished this....

I started its mate last night.

While leaving the farm and driving out of the driveway the other day,

I happened to notice a grey squirrel making his way up the side of the old log cabin...

in a vertical climb.

Intrigued, I stopped to watch.

Higher and higher he went...until he disappeared under the eaves of the roof.

This all happened before I could get my camera out and focussed.

However, I have recreated the scene for you...

Upon closer inspection I found this....

perfect access to the attic of the log cabin.

That explains the abundance of walnut shells that we constantly find in the cabin.

For years I have wondered how the squirrels found their way inside.

Now, I know.... first hand!

These creatures are quite resourceful!

I might add, too, that our squirrels here on the farm are quite plump!
