Sharing The Goods ~

this watchful chipmunk has a 
family of little ones that live
under the front step

no doubt her many trips to the bird feeder
include taking seed home to them

 it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.”

What a cutie. My parents had a chipmunk family under their deck one year. I put out a mayo jar lid full of water and they would drink from it just like a cat from a saucer!

Oh, he is adorable!! I LOVE chipmunks! When I was a little girl, they lived out back, and were so timid. They would not come right up to your hand for peanuts like the squirrels, Only very rarely. I love the quote, and I am sure this little chipmunk family are very thankful for your seeds.

Chipmunks are the most adorable creatures. We don't have them here, but I remember them from my childhood in the Illinois woods, quite vividly.

A nice capture, Susan. And I'm sure that chippie and her brood have a lot of gratitude for their food supply (and supplier).

What a treat! Miss your new dear one. Hope the cat doesn't go out and get 'em. Glad you saw this at just the right time.
