Beautiful fall weather. 67F/19C. Bright, yet cool and sunny.
Today, had a real shock when I was feeding the fish. I was just sitting as usual on a small plastic chair staring at my fish when I felt something brush by my ankle.
I saw something out of the corner of my eye and jumped up. It was a baby squirrel. I have never seen one approach me. All squirrels in my neighborhood are pretty wild and don't go close to humans. But this one ran right under me as I was sitting.
At first I was afraid it might be rabid, but it seemed pretty normal. It ran on to the net over the pond, didn't seem afraid. Kept looking back at me as I stood there and finally vanished. But it gave me quite a fright.
