There must be a family of squirrels nearby as two babies have visited me to show off their moves in the past week. For this fast Bucket today, I’m featuring those two squirrels. Yesterday morning I was sitting in my chair inside the glass front door and heard a thud. Looked out and saw the top image. I grabbed my phone/camera and swiveled to face the door. Little Ms Squirrel saw me, but she apparently decided I wasn’t worth her concern. It was morning yoga time. (Maybe this squirrel is aiming for her own Instagram account?)

Slide back and flatten into ?
Look at that little squirrel butt. Despite the skimpy tail, she is a western grey squirrel who one day will have the big bushy tail that helps distinguish her from the invasive eastern grey squirrel (also present in this area).
A few days ago, her brother visited. He isn’t into yoga and has a more in-your-face attitude. I also heard a thud, but knew this thud was the broom falling down. I looked out the door and saw this. (If he’s aiming for his own Instagram account, I’m afraid he’s going to post dick picks.)
That’s it from the always sunny in summer Sierras. Tell us who you see outside your door.
