feed the squirrels

We interact by building into their environment.

We bring and encourage predators, domesticated cats, dogs which people here in town allow to become semi-feral.

So why not feed them once in a while?

We watched one gorge itself above a branch east of our kitchen window, as we played chess and ate dinner.

Let’s face it, they need their own food, not ours—especially these days. But a couple of times in the distant past I got ‘em a little something if I saw them around, and they didn’t mind it. Now hopefully they didn’t sick.
