Squirrel House

We have squirrels. Lots of squirrels. I enjoy watching them. We feed them. We name them. We try to catch them. We love squirrels. Well, apparently, they built a big next in daddy's tool shed. Not a good idea. The roof started cracking and they were "making deposits" on daddy's tools, lawn mower, and snow blower...another idea not thought out very well on their part. Well...Daddy tore down the squirrel nest, fixed his tool shed roof, and said, "It is good." We were upset. Mommy tried to explain to him the joys of the day brought on by the squirrel family. Daddy began to feel guilty (really, he did!) and went online and downloaded plans for a squirrel house. He took out some scrap wood, made some measurements, made some cuts and then I got to help him put it together! It was so much fun! Then, the best part, was watching daddy climb up the tree and attach the squirrel house to the tree! He went up really high! Then he jumped down!! What a Dad! Now we are on "Squirrel Watch" to see if they find the house and actually decide to move in. Winter is coming and there's not much time. We put peanuts all around to see if they can find it. We'll keep you posted!
