Look close at the bottom of the window...see that tiny squirrel? It is a baby...and she was wondering about making friends with it. I suggested sunflower seeds, and if she had an apple to cut in open. She wondered why an apple...I told her cause it has a strong scent and that is how I made friends with Mama Squirrel. But she didn't have an apple. She ask about a strawberry...I said try it. so, we texted a minute more and I had not heard any more.
I got a phone call yesterday evening, and there was all this excitement in her voice and she said 'Guess what, Mamaw!'
Well, I knew right away she had had success.
You cannot see it, but she said she could not stop smiling the whole time. There are two or three babies, and one of them did take the strawberry and went up the tree to eat it.
Just thought I would share this bit of happiness...
Hope you all are having a good weekend.
A bit of happiness indeed. Great story!

ReplyDeleteCute photo and story about Lorelei and the baby squirrels. We do need more happy stories. Enjoy your day, have a great new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! We have a lot of baby squirrels around here but I've never tried that. I know she is loving it and probably the baby is too!
ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled for her. Happiness during these difficult days is a good thing!
ReplyDeleteA sweet story and a memory that Lorelei will always have.
ReplyDeleteThe squirrel has a new fan to feed him.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that. How tiny!!! I have several squirrels that come up to me and beg for their peanuts. I hand them to them.
ReplyDeleteSo glad she gets to experience such love and sweetness.
That is a moment she will never forget.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy tale. I'm sure she will always treasure this experience :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo and story. It is great to find happiness in small things.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! She has a kind, gentle, and happy spirit, and the animals know this. Also, the strawberry didn't hurt!
ReplyDeleteI feel excited for Lorelei too. I too would want to make friends with the squirrels but we rarely get to see them in our area.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty that our natural world, is in on this mess, of finding ways to make us feel just that little bit special - be it's the plants or these baby squirrels.
ReplyDeleteFrom someone who hasn't ever seen a squirrel, they are not here in New Zealand at all...my knowledge is from story books which have a squirrel in them; or American friends who have issues with bird seed feeders etc...
WOW! Such a happy story! After reading all the horrible things happening in the news, I needed some cheer.

What a cute story! I have plenty of squirrels, but I don't think that I've ever seen a young one like this!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Rose, such sweet photos. I never knew that about the apple. I will have to remember that, and even a strawberry, both of which I don't have at the moment but they will be on the shopping list.
ReplyDeleteQue du bonheur on peut le comprendre , Merci pour ce partage !!
ReplyDeleteBonne journée
How very cool for all involved. Lorelei is such an animal lover. Good for her and nice to see her on your blog

Amazing the squirrel was eating out of her hand like that. The squirrels I come across bolt for it when they see a nearby human. I'll have to take some strawberries when I go out!!
ReplyDeleteSquirrels are my favourite animals, even though they have annoying habits like breaking into bird feeders.
How sweet! So glad I saw this. That Lorelei is such a sweet girl, no wonder the little squirrel came to her. I hope it stays there. A pet squirrel is so much fun. I love this!
