Squirrelly greetings and welcome to my very first posting EVER on my very first blog!  I'm so excited to get started.  To learn more about me, please visit the About the Squirrel page, alright?  You can even email me, because I want to get to know you, too. 

Here I am, sitting on the porch near my tree in Traverse City.  My place is so cool.  I even have a bird bath where I like to play… it's really nice in the summer when it's hot outside.  (Even though the birds don't like sharing.)  Do you have a bird bath, too?

The people who live in the house nearby are really friendly.  Sometimes they cook things on a big hot thing outside and they let me keep whatever falls on the ground!  Best of all, the little people who live in the house think I'm really cute.  Which I am.  :-)  They even give me rides on their tricycle sometimes.  In the photo at the bottom of this post, I'm checking out the grass with one of my buddies.

Now that it's summer, I think it's time for an adventure, don't you?  Since May, I've been thinking & thinking about what to do.  Then I remembered a story that my great-granddaddy squirrel used to tell me…  Once, he found this AMAZING oak tree with loads and loads of acorns!  Acorns are my absolutely favorite food, so I thought I'd go on a search of my own!  For the rest of summer, I'm going to travel to the country to see what I can find.  I'll post photos and stories about my journey on this blog every week.  I hope you will check in to see where I am and what I've found!
