You can take me away from my squirrels, but you can’t take the squirrel outta me 😌🐿️

Vacation mode: still squirrel mode

Squirrels and coffee are life ☕🐿️
But this oat creamer is what makes this cup of coffee a damn fine cup of coffee. Must try! 😋

Today feels extra special. It’s Veterans Day in the USA, a time to honor courage and devotion. It’s also Lhabab Duchen — a sacred day celebrating compassion and wisdom in action. And on this same day, four years ago, my dear Bonnie took her first leap of freedom back into the wild. 🐿️💫

She still visits me every day, relaxed, wise, and wonderfully herself. My yard has since bloomed into a tiny squirrel village, full of her curious babies and grandbabies I lovingly call the McSquirrely Clan. 💕🌳

Bonnie reminds me daily that love and kindness ripple outward — from one life to many. Here’s to freedom, friendship, and the beautiful bonds that never fade.

This is one of Bonnie's babies, whom I haven't named yet but she's by far my favorite 🐿️ grandbaby 😊

Not sure if she had an argument with her mother or was just sick of her siblings, but last week she decided she was going to sleep in the basket of fluff on the porch.

Some of you who have been with us from the beginning may recognize and remember this basket 🧺🐿️ Yes! It's the same basket Miss Bonnie used to nap in as a baby and still comes to snuggle in on rainy days.

I was shocked and at the same time super excited to see my little furry princess sleep in her momma's baby basket. No other squirrel ever dared to step foot inside it. It was such a wholesale full circle moment 🥰

Sadly the next night some trash panda came by uninvited and scared my baby away. Everyone was fine, but she hasn't been back sleeping there since. 🥺

Guess what? 🐿️
I love you! 😘
Ok bye! 💕
