I saw squirrels consummating their relationship last night.
We were waiting patiently for our dinner to come (I thought that they were actually out setting the lobster traps for my dinner) and Adrian pointed out that there were squirrels fornicating in the tree above our table. Funnily enough, when we scanned around the restaurant (to make sure we didn’t look like freaks for bending our necks out of shape to watch the show) we were not the only ones watching. ‘They really should have charged admission’, a gentleman next to us declared.
It was at that point when Brenley noticed that it was an inter-racial relationship. A black squirrel and a grey squirrel.
Hmm… I wonder if there are issues like that in the animal kingdom. Would it matter to the mother squirrel if the squirrel perched on top of her daughter (or rather, behind) was of a different color? Or maybe he was brought up in a socialist, rambling, birkenstock wearing hippie family of squirrels that like to be on the move, eating baked tofu, and the relationship between his partner’s more conservative pan seared tuna w/ wasabi mashed potatoes eating family, and his, would be one of constant struggle. Or maybe they’re all cut from the same cloth, crazy for nuts, and life would go on without any inconvenience. Or maybe one of them would get hit by a car shortly thereafter their tryst and it wouldn’t matter anyway.
Yes, the glass of beautifully aged bordeaux is definitely half empty in that squirrels situation. But one of these days we may take a gander up that tree trunk and that glass will be verging on half full, teetering on a branch, without a drop spilled.
I’m sure that there will be people who will get on my case, and think I have fallen off the deep end after reading my posts, with no little orange floatation devices strapped to my arms to keep me from sinking to the bottom. Maybe if I learned how to swim, people wouldn’t fear a sodden heart, and the possibility of drowning would come to a halt.
But we all know that life flows better a little watered down, so go teach your kids how to swim.

I just saw you at Music on Main in Antigonish. I met your Mom Lisa, such a nice lady!. You guys were wonderful, beautiful voices and wonderful musicians. Thanks for the great show.

All my years living in the country and I have never seen squirrels fornicating. Wouldn’t really have seen them this summer yet as I haven’t ventured out too much with all the rain and then the bugs on the nice days, it’s such a frustrating thing - I mean the not getting outside part. I really must get used to that bug jacket we have hanging. Soon it will be August and the bugs will have disappeared some.
Hope to see you at Granville Green if possible but there is a Ball Tournament that weekend so I’m not sure if we can get away. If not, I’ll see you again somewhere.

We saw your group perform in London, Ontario. You three are the freshest, best talent I’ve seen in quite a while, with unique vocals. You could be huge if you wanted to get out of the local Canadian market and come down to the US. I believe you’ve got great potential. If you have an interest, please let me know at halleyjc@earthlink.net.
