Squirrel Gymnastics

Yesterday I witnessed a wonderfully hilarious performance by Gabriella the Squirrel Gymnast. A most impressive routine!

Apologies for the blurry start – it does get better!  Gabriella’s performance began before I could get the video camera properly situated but I managed to catch some amazing moves once I got focused.  Gabriella is quite the performer!

If you enjoy that video, make sure to check out the pics of Nate Berkus the Squirrel Decorator (previous post). Too cute!

The Nate Berkus of Squirrels

Interior Decorator Extraordinaire!

I have been puzzled recently as to how my outdoor pillows keep ending up on the deck floor or otherwise rearranged.  No one has been using the deck in the cold winter months, no guests have been here (no human guests anyway!) … how could this keep happening?

I have finally solved the mystery!  It seems that one of the squirrels, who shall heretofore be named “Nate”, has taken it upon himself to rearrange the pillows from time to time.  I suspect that he may not be the only squirrel interested in changing my decor as I believe I saw little Miss Boo in the pillows recently.

Check out these photos – really adorable and hysterical! Helpful hint:  Just click on the first photo and a slideshow will begin.  Find the x on the slideshow page to close the slideshow.

Before Nate arrived

Nate begins his analysis

“Let’s move this over there…”

“Just a little more”

“Let’s check under there…”

“I need to look at at it from this angle!”

“Oh this is heavy!”

“Slide it this way a bit.”

“And I can push it with my feet.”

“Maybe I need all 4 feet…”

“Now I need a little break.”

“Back to work!”

“Still not positioned quite right.”

“Gotta get under it.”

“Another big push and a nibble!”

“I’m OK under here, really!”

“Ok how’s it looking?”

“Not so sure about this back part…”

“And one more adjustment!”

Much better.
