So it’s not just me. Even the animal kingdom knows it’s Fall and they’re stocking up on food. This little squirrel went nuts over a milkshake. I can’t blame him I have the same problem with chocolate shakes, including trying to get the lid off the dang cup.
Of course, I don’t think we need squirrels high on sugar too. Chaos! So people, finish your milkshakes. Save a squirrel from sugar.
Have a great weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!

Is it just me or has somebody cranked up the calendar and put the holidays before the horse? And the sleigh? Three weeks ago I noticed the Halloween candy was out at the grocery store. August, it was August! People were already buying their pre-holiday taste testing goblin candy to devour before they have to buy more candy for Halloween. (You know we all do it.)
Then this weekend I saw KMart advertising Christmas layaway on tv with Santa shopping from a scooter and a walking Christmas tree using a grocery cart. Hope Santa’s okay. Maybe his sleigh doesn’t work well in KMart. Reindeer droppings I bet.
Our weather dipped into the 50s on Sunday and didn’t reach 60 degrees all day. I went hunting my new alpaca socks to wear. Now the weather guy says it’s going to be 90 degrees on Friday. Must be Fall in Oregon.
I ripped out my tomato plants yesterday because we were both tired of each other. I took in the last harvest and now have a science experiment in progress to see if the green ones will ripen. Put them in a leftover Chinese takeout food plastic container which I think looks like a mini-greenhouse. Perfect. Harvest time. Must be football season! Yes!
On the local news Monday night they spilled the beans that the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes, using real pumpkin, would be available today. As opposed to using alien pumpkin ingredients I guess? BUT, if you wanted to get the treat on Labor Day, you had to use the password PUMPKIN. How clever is that?
By accident I noticed the squirrel feeder was out of food when Mr. Squirrel was snacking at the ground bird feeder, instead of HIS feeder. Got a couple close up pics by carefully opening the screen door, but my favorite is the last one I had to shoot through the window for the perfect angle.
If winter must come then we all might as well chow down by hopping into the holiday food trough just like Mr. Squirrel. Forget dainty and bashful.
Local weather forecasters say due to a historic El Nino the Pacific Northwest should have above average temperatures and less rain this winter. Right.
Time to go find my snow shovel, reactivate my Netflix account and get a few cases of Halloween candy. Mr. Squirrel knows something.
Start hoarding the Pumpkin Spice Lattes!

I’m a big squirrel fan and I know many of you loved the water skiing squirrel. Found this old commercial with a very talented squirrel playing soccer. Outside the U.S. they call it football. I guess that energy drink really did work!
Have a great weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!

It’s been a wild week here at Quirky central and now it’s time to sit back and relax for the weekend. While I contemplate which of the 3,000 things I may not do on my get it done list, here are two brave foragers out for their morning nuts. Love the play by play calls!
When all else fails, the animals entertain. Happy Quirky Friday!

Been one of those crazy weeks where I can’t seem to find anything. Usually I put said item in a “safe place” and it is never seen again. Until I don’t need it anymore, that is, then it shows up.
It’s no secret I love cats, but there are some fabulous pooches out there too. This big guy is one of them. When all about you are losing their minds and can’t figure out where to store their nuts, this patient dog is a real pal. When you can’t find something, frisk the dog! Happy Quirky Friday!

I need staff. Wrote my blog post Thursday and forgot to post it. Life happens. But Fall is upon us and the leaves threw themselves off the trees this past week. Happened pretty fast here so I know the holidays are galloping toward us. With everything we have to accomplish during the coming season, it helps to have trained troops for backup.
Seems one man has figured out how to get his backyard squirrels to take on the task of carving his Halloween pumpkin. Probably a retired Command Sergeant Major. Watch these pumpkin carving artists in action. Happy Quirky Friday!
