Shirley seems to have lived in winter very well -if you look at her southern pole
It seems that Shirley has managed to get through the winter quite well. In fact she seems a little more 'plump' than the last time we saw her. Do you think she might have found a husband to keep her warm over the winter and maybe might be a mommy-to-be?
My relationship with Shirley has now advanced to where she not only takes the nuts from my fingers but, while I was brushing Edwina yesterday, tapped me on the leg to indicate her interest in more nuts. Then she sits with me while she eats them.

This "up close and personal" time with her has convinced me she has more than a few nuts in the oven! My squirrel population will be increasing very soon.....
