Every morning upon waking up I like to go out and check what is going on at the deck. I usually sit down on my favorite wood pile, observe the surroundings and groom my luscious coat.

An Itch
Some may think that I itch too much, and I guess it is true. To be quite honest I do not pay much attention to it anymore as I have gotten use to it. When I got it I scratch it and move on with my life…after all it is mainly dust that gets to me. I do live under the ground. Remember?

March Snow
March is usually cold, wet and unbearably muddy. But, its mischievous nature often makes it unpredictable. This morning , for example, there was snow outside my door!

Evening Sky and a Full Moon
Last evening was so beautiful.

Sunday Morning
Today, I decided to finally venture out! This is the day, I thought, and run upstairs to see what was the world like outside my doors.

Newton
Newton turned out to be quite a nice fellow. Once I clamed down from the anxiety over “the new roommate scenario,” I was actually able to appreciate his company. It gets a bit lonely down here after a while, and this winter especially has made me long for company.

Mr. Moth
After all the chocolate melting, mixing and truffle ball rolling I decided to take a long snooze, and if it was not for the buzzing noise that suddenly filled my bedroom, I would have been probably still sleeping.

My Tootsie
Yes. I know. I haven’t been around lately. I have been very busy getting ready for Valentine’s Day. It is not an easy task if you have only eight fingers and two little hands to rely on.

Siberian Chipmunk
I have to confess that I have a habit of browsing YouTube in search for some good chipmunk reality videos. They are, more often than not, quite amusing and in the winter time they tend to soothe my longing for chipmunk company, a good chase and a chirping concert.

Acorns
I realized this morning that I still have a load of acorns in my stash. As I was going through them, I was being reminded of the great harvest we’ve had this past Fall. It was so unbelievably abundant! Then, … Continue reading
Peanut Dreams
This winter sleeping jag is getting to me. Last winter was much kinder. I could stick my nose out the hole and wonder about from time to time. But, now…we are expecting yet another snow storm!
I often think how much I would love to stretch my body under the ferns near my burrow and maybe sit on a log pile for a moment or two.

Cold Winter Day
Another cold day. I managed to get some sleep again. It felt good, but after a while it got to me. I woke up, wondered about, picked up Sedaris’ book again and continued reading. I always appreciated his sense humor, but I am afraid that this time he took it a tad too far. I mean, how could a chipmunk date a squirrel?
