“If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel’s heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence.” – George Eliot
When I hear a squirrel chattering away in a tree, my first thought is what bird is that? But then the little gray cells chime in, informing me that it’s a sassy squirrel. — Photo by Pat Bean
Scattergories
I love playing Scattergories, a game in which you are given a letter of the alphabet and a category — like an R and restaurants. If you came up with Red Robin, you would get two points for the double R.
So one time when the letter was S and the category animals, I wrote down sassy squirrels, but the other players wouldn’t allow it.
Now I ask you, have you ever seen a squirrel that wasn’t sassy?

Thank you again for the Bean Pat. I could use it after mowing the lawn and whatnot. Boy, am I tired!
It’s the least I can do for all the pleasure and delight your art brings to my life. I hope your efforts reward you well. I’ve mowed many a lawn and shoveled snow from many a walk in my earlier years, so I’m currently enjoying the luxury of apartment living, even if its not all that luxuous by luxury standards. .
