Usually I like to start my day with a wholesome almond, or two, and follow it with a grape, or better yet – a nice juicy blueberry. Continue reading

Cherry Season
To me, summer usually arrives with a large shipment of sweet cherries. I love to munch on them early in the morning, while on my favorite perch overlooking the yard. I often put one aside the day before and hide somewhere deep in the woodpile so I could easily retrieve next day. Continue reading
My Sunflower
Some time ago I was told that I could be quite a good farmer. While I knew I would have a hard time raising cattle, I knew that I could always plant a tree, or two…or perhaps even a sunflower. I grew few of them last year, and this year will probably be no different. Partially because my growing efforts are being supported by my closest neighbors. Continue reading
My Best Friend’s Birthday
While I was having breakfast this morning, I was trying to figure out what I could get my friend for her birthday. I could not throw a party, because she is away at the moment. I could not send her a gift because it would not get to her on time…hm?… Continue reading
Hot Day
Today was a hot day and I did not feel like doing much. Besides, every time they mow the grass I am a bit shaken up, literally speaking. Hence, instead of running my usual errands, each Tuesday I try to relax while lounging on my favorite perch in the wood pile. Continue reading

Nancy and Her Kids
Some time ago I noticed Nancy building a new summer house. Now, I can see that she has moved all her kids there and they are all staying there enjoying the warmer season in a new pad. They are into everything and they spare no time for chases and fights. Continue reading
Curious Daisy
Daisy has a habit of climbing on a top of the bush so she could oversee the yard in proximity of her burrow and scan it for potential intruders. Additionally, she likes to peek into the kitchen widow of her neighbors. There is always something going on in there and more often than not the activity inside revolves around food. Various nuts are being handled, berries are being washed and apple juice is being served… Continue reading
A Lonely Dandelion Puff
It seems as if though all the dandelion puffs are gone from my yard already, except for this one lonely puff that still stands tall in front of my burrow. Continue reading
A Day In May
Today was one of the most beautiful days I have seen in my short chipmunk life. Continue reading
The Moon
Another beautiful evening. After a windy day it was nice to see calm sky and still trees. The moon looked spectacular!
Now, I must snuggle for the day…my soft bed of leaves and fresh grass awaits. Maybe a book? I am reading Sedaris again. He is a very funny fellow. I imagine him to be a giant squirrel with lots of fur behind his ears…
Fancy Nancy
This afternoon I run into my old friend, Nancy. I bumped into her at the bottom of a small deck. Her cheeks were fully loaded and I could tell that she was a bit embarrassed. But, despite that she looked so lovely!
