...Aww. A happy ending. So lovely to be so close.<br /><br />I live on the third floor now, and my deck is nestled in the branches of a very large elm. I've been watching the odd little habits of a squirrel recently, watched it sleep on a branch, monorail-style, during the 90-some degree day we had Sunday. I must admit I thought of you and the tale you'd tell and the photos that would accompany it...<br /><br />Summer!!<br /><br />PearlPearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261369905176088917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-83434306355672329832012-06-11T21:10:26.542-04:002012-06-11T21:10:26.542-04:00Such a heart-warming story.
