I’ve been leaving a few nuts and dried fruit in a small bowl on my deck for the squirrel.  He comes by each morning to see what I’ve left him and has some breakfast there.  Sometimes he brings his girlfriend.  Often I don’t see him, since I’ve got my face glued to a computer much of the time.  But occasionally I notice some movement out there and watch him.

He likes to jump in and out of my planters, and he digs around in them.  I think he may be burying some of his stash for later.  He also leaves little puddles of urine around on the deck.  I assume this is some sort of marking behavior.  So now he thinks he owns the place.

I’m wondering what will happen when Spring comes and I want to sit out there again and read.  I hope he doesn’t mind it if I use “his” deck.
