One of the other things I commissioned my brother to make me this summer was a squirrel-sized picnic table.
You may have seen them in your facebook feed – pics have been popping up all over the place.
As soon as we got home from his place last month, I set it up on the end of the garden cart. That way I had a good view of the diners from my couch, and they had a lovely view of the garden while they ate.
I didn’t have any peanuts, so I put a little bird seed out for them. They have no problem raiding the feeders, so I figured they’d just love a little bit of easy-to-obtain seed.
I was wrong. The seed sat there, untouched, for weeks.
On grocery day (Friday before last) I finally got a bag of peanuts. I immediately put a few out for them. And I waited… and waited.
FINALLY, on Wednesday, something caught the corner of my eye while I was knitting…
I moved in for a closer view, and of course, he took off. But I settled down and waited, and it wasn’t long before he was back again.
Success at last!
I’m sure he’ll tell all his friend. I see lots of squirrel watching in my future.
I’ve seen those photos all over the place too and thought they were so cute. That is going to be so much fun to watch.

Such a cute picnic table! Surprising that it took so long for diners to show up.
