Osgood update
 Well, we have a "murder of crows" hanging out in the trees in the ravine behind our house. 
I was worried about Osgoode ( we hadn't seen him for a while) as they have been stealing his peanuts and making a general nuisance of themselves, chasing away the songbirds and acting in general like thugs. 
Last Sunday, I went out into the garden early with Willoughby who was having an attack of "garbage tummy" and didn't notice our little friend up in the spruce tree. After Willoughby went inside to lie down, I sat in a chair to enjoy the quiet.  Suddenly, there was Osgoode, sitting on a fence post, scolding me for all he was worth. 
He didn't stop until I gave him his peanut breakfast. Since then, he's been coming out, scolding at the top of his little lungs until I deliver the required peanuts. The crows are not amused!  |

| Smart little dude! He's got you well trained. |
| Haha! I want to see a picture of him shaking his little fist at you demanding those nuts |
| Phew, I'm glad Osgoode is safe I like hearing his stories |
I will do my best to get a photo: I couldn;'t find the camera last weekend until too late! 
My nieghbour also watches Osgoode who keeps part of his larder in the big tree behind our properties. Apparently, in the worst of the recent windstorms, all of Osgoode's stash of apples remained firmly in place on the branches where he stored them! |
Well, Willoughby and I made a startling discovery: Osgoode has a neighbour: another squirrel! We were sitting watching his tree and heard Ocgoode shouting at the top of his lungs and lo and behold, another squirrel was running up the trunk of his tree!  This is obvioiusly the squirrel who lives in my neighbour's tree and collects apples. Osgoode collects tomatoes!
Willoughby tells me that the neighbour squirrel is named Harwood! Imagine that! |
| I'm thinking Willoughby is such a smart boy to understand "squirrel talk" and just think I was thinking it was you who had gone "squirrelly". Nyuck Nyuck

Another startling discovery! A third squirrel joined Osgoode and Harwood last evening! The three of them were running up and down Ostgoode's tree, scolding the two crows who are lurking around the peanut stall! I could see them as I did my back exercises. The cats were very interested in their antics. 
I told Willoughby: he yawned and said that the new guy is Linwood and he's moving into the neighbourhood: somthing to do with peanuts!!!  |
