It occurs to me that with the move and new baby that it will probably take at least a year before our new home really feels like a home. There’s so much to unpack, to paint, to figure out what goes where, to arrange, that it’s going to take at least a year before we’re truly settled in. Oh well, one room at a time. The baby’s room is all painted and I’m pretty pleased with the shelving I put together. The family room is now painted as well. Next up – the office. Or maybe I’ll just go to bed for a while.

- Those Darned Squirrels
Old Man Fookwire is a grump who only likes to paint pictures of birds that visit his backyard. The problem is, they fly south every winter, leaving him sad and lonely. So he decides to get them to stay by putting up beautiful birdfeeders filled with seeds and berries. Unfortunately, the squirrels like the treats, too, and make a daring raid on the feeders. The conflict escalates-until the birds depart (as usual), and the squirrels come up with a plan that charms the old grump.My take: How can you not like a book where you get to say Googlie Mooglie, raise your fist and yell “Those darned squirrels”?
