I wish I had a dollar for every pecan tree seedling that I have pulled out of the flower pots in my backyard. The squirrels have a habit of bringing pecans from other people’s yards and burying them in the pots on our deck in the fall. Then in the spring, when the squirrels fail to retrieve them, the nuts sprout and grow. Our backyard is too small to support pecan trees, but I’m pretty sure that we would have a whole grove by now if we had planted them all.

love this commentary, and the photographs
Thanks, Maureen!
Maybe you could pot them up and offer them for sale! 😉
Wish I had thought of that years ago! Hindsight.
Thanks for sharing the cute photographs Rebecca 👍🏼 I had fun watching them.
Thanks, Snehal! I enjoy watching them play and chase each other in the pine trees.
I cannot take enough squirrel photos either – they pose so readily and are so darn cute … one peanut and they are your friends for life! 🙂
Mine like the black sunflower seeds that I feed the birds. They prefer to eat on the ground, so one will jump on the feeder and scatter the seeds, and then go back to the ground to eat. They are entertaining.
I am going to get some sunflower seeds for a cardinal at the park where I walk daily. That’s a good method for getting treats that your squirrels have. They make me smile as well and they move slower than the birds and waterfowl, so I get more pictures of them. 🙂
sounds like your going nuts?
