Our little albino friend

We have been in our current home for over five years and the day we moved in we saw an albino squirrel.  Well, five years later he is STILL here!  It's kind of amazing to me with the amount of traffic our road gets that he has survived this long.  Well he has made his home comfortably in our big tree in the front yard.  He's almost like a pet.  The kids watch him and talk about him all the time.  So, before we sell our house and move, I wanted to catch a picture of him.

he found something to eat


Mike, I think, is ready for someone to run him over.  We discovered our damp basement was from the gutters being clogged.  Didn't really make sense because we have gutter guards.  WELL.....Mr. Albino squirrel was taking walnuts and carrying them through the hole at the end of the gutter guard and making a nice dam with the walnuts right in the middle of the gutter.  Mike had to go out in a torrential down pour the other night to take care of Mr. Albino's mess so that we didn't get a damp basement again.
He better hope we move soon.......Home for sale, included: a rare albino squirrel.

  1. It's so funny that you posted this because just yesterday I was pointing out the bunny that lives under our deck to our kids. And Olivia asked me if he was coming with us when we move!
