Somehow I can disassociate them in my head with the flamin' rooks which have infested our area. though they are the same family.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385150635938870512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-12925146197912563452014-12-15T23:09:39.851+00:002014-12-15T23:09:39.851+00:00Hey Everyday life, thanks for your comment.

They are all cute though. <br /><br />Susie, no doubt somewhere in my ancestors they ate them. Probably during the war. hence I have the recipe.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-19656443659519288412014-12-15T22:03:12.111+00:002014-12-15T22:03:12.111+00:00I like the red squirrels the best.

I dont like to eat much meat. it just doesnt sit well with me. If we had access to a fish monger here I could quite easily give up meat altogether. We have a serrano ham for Christmas. Its nice, for sure. but we have it only for Christmas and then after it gets cooked into other things to make the stretch. someone will hate me saying that!Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-57190097750238248592014-12-15T14:51:56.422+00:002014-12-15T14:51:56.422+00:00The squirrels are such characters and incredibly b...The squirrels are such characters and incredibly beautiful, Sol. I saw some red squirrels in a park when I visited Warsaw.

I had a toy that looked like him when I was small. only grey ones here, one that jumps onto our swing seat and looks into the dining room window. he frolicks about like Pepe Le Pew from the cartoon. He does that weird half bounce leap.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-68143363059732187822014-12-15T11:46:24.247+00:002014-12-15T11:46:24.247+00:00I adore squirrels.

They're absolute terrors for ransacking bird feeders though.nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472673041193755894noreply@blogger.com
