I Wonder.....


Today, my children posed a couple of "I wonder" questions. Do you know the answers?

I wonder....

  • How squirrels get drinks of water ?
  • Why do people bake cookies when they could just eat the dough?

Perhaps you can guess it was raining at our house today, and we stayed inside and made chocolate chip cookies! I wonder.....how long will those cookies remain in the cookie jar?

Well, around here the squirrels saunter over to my birdbath for water. Little stinkers. And when they get hungry they like to empty out my bird feeder. Literally! One squirrel hangs on the bird feeder so that the seed all spills out while his cohort in crime gathers up all the seed he can carry from below! My neighbor feeds them peanuts constantly, so now they are so fat and bold! One of the larger ones will occasionally come right up to the front door and scratch to demand food! I usually just tell him he's at the wrong house and shut the door, but I do have to admit that I sometimes give him something when I'm having a weak moment! ;)

They ARE ornery, aren't they? We once made a bird feeder out of a half of a coconut shell. One squirrel could not be content until he had eaten the whole thing. It seems they can figure out any anti-squirrel device, too. But life would be boring without them.
