Surprises in the Garden

Meet Pepper, the baby gray squirrel...

You never can tell what you may come across in the garden, a glimpse of a hummingbird, a butterfly that lands on a flower you were trimming just moments before, or a little baby squirrel fallen out of its nest. That is exactly what my husband came across last night when he readied to mow the lawn. The little guy, a baby gray squirrel must have fallen out of his nest due to all the rain we have had in the midwest (and from what I can tell, his penchant to wander off when being fed or getting ready to go back to sleep). This little guy is approximately 3 weeks old, the same age as another little squirrel, Woodle, was when we found him 2 years ago this fall. His little eyes are still closed but he seems healthy and unharmed all the way around.

What a glorious little suprise he is.
