two of them already knocked over my neighbor's whole big bin & one of them, upon seeing my car lights went to hide behind the mailbox pole & it was the cutest thing to me

man im still thinking about this one time weeks ago when i saw a squirrel bury a blueberry in the ground with their hands & how they were covering it with dirt & patted the ground with their hands afterwards
it's one of the most incredible things ive ever seen. it was a very "there, there, you're ok" kinda pat it was so gentle
i dont know what was happening cos obvi that wasnt storage for later like that blueberry is not gonna stay there this isnt a nut in a tree like this wasnt about a cache
maybe they were simply planting a bush
maybe squirrels also plant bushes
i watch squirrels a lot
like i know a lot of squirrel behavior
this was a very singular thing im still thinking about
that's great, it's seems so thoughtful.
I once got to watch four squirrels play King of the hill on a big oak tree for like 45 minutes.
the one at the top was the hardest to displace because the second one down had to defend its position by chasing off the squirrel below it while also trying to outmanouver the squirrel at the top to displace it.
they where all spread out on the tree like there was clear levels that they held and tried to get up to the next while still defending the squirrel from below.
it's a crude drawing but it looked like a game with rules.
did you draw this for this like to share with me?
are the squiggles representing the general shape of a squirrel in the abstract or is it an s letter cos squirrel starts with an s letter?
it can also be both or neither im just trying to make sure im reading the drawing correctly as intended by the artist
yeah that's my scribbles to illustrate the squirrel game.
the S's do represent the squirrels.
I considered drawing long ovals with tails but my drawing skills are really bad. so I went with S's.
if Squirrel started with a K or an A I think I would have gone with the ovals with tails. it would have been too different from how a Squirrel is to have an A represent it.
i love that you drew this to share
this is the most wonderful thing that has happened in at least the last 12 hours for me personally ☺️
& i love the further explanation
the S's are such a nice choice & i hear you about the A

Ha that's great I'm glad you got some good feelings out of it. It was about 7 years ago and a great time
