A Mouthful

I absolutely love black squirrels and I only the see them on rare occasions so I was very pleased to come across one while at the Botanical Gardens.  While this looks like a black squirrel with a large goiter, I am pretty sure that is a black walnut in its mouth.

I went there specifically to walk a couple of miles, totally forgetting that later in the day I would be accompanying my husband to a basketball game downtown and would probably get another couple of miles in.  In the end I walked almost 6 miles for the day and was a very tired girl by the time we got home.  

Many thanks to all of you for your good wishes and encouraging words about my recent health issue.  It is greatly appreciated.
