Sorry I have not posted in awhile ...Hey there Lori! Sorry I have not posted in awhile but I have been checking in and reading your blog. I can't believe it is so cold there again. Seems like it was just summer. It has been cool (cold for us-in the upper 50's/low 60's) the last few weeks and we had rain the last few days. I like the change of seasons...that is all we get really. <BR/>I did not know that about squirrels. I thought they lived in holes in trees too! The icicle shot made me get cold chills...brrr. Looks cold.<BR/>I hope you are doing well. I know you work so hard keeping the horses cared for and happy. I posted on my blog today so stop by when you can.Julie Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14375175836253306968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236523531878186352.post-6725676741261565922007-12-19T19:12:00.000-05:002007-12-19T19:12:00.000-05:00Pretty shot of the boys "horsing" around :) I lov...Pretty shot of the boys "horsing" around :) I love the vibrant colors!<BR/>SaltyCoy Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961295214970687017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236523531878186352.post-49744088136083171952007-12-19T17:10:00.000-05:002007-12-19T17:10:00.000-05:00Love those two horses looking at your while messin...Love those two horses looking at your while messing around.<BR/><BR/>The squirrels build those nests (properly called summer nests) in the summer and give birth in them and hang out in them and then come winter there are no tree snags with holes and all the hollow trees are removed so unless somebody puts up a squirrel box with a 4 inch diameter hole in it, they have to live in their summer nests in the winter. Sometimes they get loaded with ice and snow and crash to the ground, killing the squirrels inside or crippling them. I can sit here and see at least 8 nests around my property. <BR/><BR/>If you read my blog this morning you could see that I made a comment back in 2005 that the ground looked like it was covered with a squirrel rug. or something like that. <BR/><BR/>So they are surviving the only way they know how.<BR/><BR/>Nice photos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
