This is a photo of the air filter compartment on my truck; that giant pile of what looks like nesting material is, indeed, nesting material. A chipmunk had a little home going there, didn't he? The soft little nest was made of grass, yarn and bits of fuzz and had a little stash of seeds in it...luckily there were no baby chipmunks in it or I would have had to stop driving for a few weeks. What can I say? I have a soft spot for critters...

I zipped up to Sand Point beach yesterday to soak up some sun and took this pic there...the water of Lake Superior is so clear!

We had the pleasure of meeting George and Marlene this week, and their little companions Elvis and King. That's Elvis in the white fur coat (what else?). Elvis and I spent several evenings cuddling on the porch----
