Rainy Days



A storm has been coming through the San Francisco area, but it's been really strange.  It will rain cats and dogs, then be sunny.  Then we'll have another downpour followed by sun.  All of this accompanied by lots of wind.



I'm not sure what the rest of the week will bring in terms of weather, but the squirrels sure have been anxious about food.

Midnight Visitors

These cute guys stopped by around midnight for a little snack.  We usually hear them around our garbage cans and rooting around at the base of our 100 year old Oak tree for acorns, but they rarely come up on the porch.  Sorry about the poor quality, but there was only one small flourescent bulb lighting the entire scene.

They have a lot more trouble with peanuts than squirrels. They sort of crush and bite the peanut shells off. Then they roll the peanuts around on the ground to get the skins off.
