Sherlock Talks to Me

Sherlock, I have discovered is a ham. He has started posing for pictures now. Today as I sat on the couch taking his picture through the window, he perched on the rail and began to make a strange sound while he watched me. It was almost like he was threatening me. He was leaning forward starring at me making a low almost growling sound. I caught him breaking into the bird seed Gary had left on the deck. He's getting braver. The other day he was looking in the window, luckily I had it shut! I've read that squirrels only live for two years, so I wonder if I will see him in the spring or not. He doesn't appear to be a young squirrel.

We had lots of trick or treaters the other night. We gave out over 70 cokes and a huge caldron full of candy. A lot of the kids did not speak English. One even in a wheelchair--I think that is the first handicapp trick or treater I've ever experienced. Because we were giving out cokes, some of the parents wanted to know if we had any Bud Light for them! Don't think so. The kids were all polite and 2 or 3 of them were repeats. One dad on the street took the coke away from his young one and said here let me hold that, then the father proceeded to open it and drink it. At 7:30 just as we had run out of candy and cokes, it started to pour down rain. Thank goodness, we didn't have to run down to the store and get more candy!

We have a grocery store here called The Family Fare. The way you enter and leave the store is through a big revolving door. Well yesterday in the paper a Family Fare store had a freak thing happen. A three point buck slipped through the door. He got in the revolving door came in ran down the pet food aisle, and then headed for the donut display before two workers could grab him by the antlers and pull him out of the store. I guess when you got to have a Krispy Kreme you just got to have one!
