I added this picture because it was taken in our backyard. We feed birds and as you can see...some of the squirrels subsequently eat well too. I live right next to a forest preserve and often go walking or biking through it so I felt showing how the animals moved into our yard as much as we moved into theirs sums up how my life feels sometimes. Deer, squirrels, birds, mice, coyotes, raccoons...they all drop by every now and again. I guess they're looking for Dr. Doolittle.
