Friends

This is Fred. He's lived in this neighborhood for a long time. At least I think he has. I can't seem to tell him from Freda his live-in companion. Anyway one of them, I think this one, comes to our deck door begging for food every now and then. In the past I would throw bread on the lawn of which he would get a couple of nibbles and the birds would steal the rest. So today when he visited I decided to give him some crackers. I gave him three, one of which he is munching on in this photo. He will be back, I'm sure, since I've learned over the years Squirrels are like cats: if you feed them they will not leave. Next time he visits maybe I'll see what he does with ice-cream. Oh! BTW, I did give him water to slake the thirst after eating three "saltines."
