I have seen many of them on my very early morning walks at Ft. Meade...more and more of them this year, as they seem most, er, "prolific" this Spring...them, and the strain of jet black-colored ground squirrels which inhabit the woods there...


...and, chipmunks seem to be very, very good at squirrel tag...oh so fast...

Indeed, chipmunks enjoy a rousing game of squirrel tag as much as their squirrel cousins do.  You must send some of your jet-black squirrels out to visit our western PA region...my chipmunks and I would very much like to make their acquaintance.

The jet black squirrels are a phenomenon I have seen to our east, on Ft. Devens, MA, as a matter of fact...hmmm, Ft. Meade, Ft. Devens...perhaps some form of military stealth research is involved...no matter, they are a peaceable strain of squirrel now.

Acorn Wood forecast for the holiday weekend, sunny and 72 for the next 3 days...yessss.....:-)

Hmmmm....perhaps the poor little blokes are the outcasts.  Black sheep squirrels?

Now I've got images in my head of squirrels as the chimney sweeps in Mary Poppins *giggle*

Hail, Draconia...I could not feel any finer this day were I twins...but, there are sad tidings from my beloved woods on Fort Meade, where I have walked regularly for years...they are now closed (effective yesterday) for that accursed word, "development"...*sigh*...Spyro has been attempting to get the word out the the chimney sweep squirrels that they must move, asap...

Time for a mead...or two... 8)

Amras...I was looking and I can't find the thread...I think we had one at least, on learing to speak/read Elvin...could you point me in the right direction?

I shall look...I can't help but think that Master Calith is behind any instruction in the Elvish arts...

Hail, oh Elemental Airy one...Spyro has been known to lift his kilt up when he's had one too many shots of macadamia nut liquor at faire...I try not to encourage him!
