SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - THE SQUIRRELS WERE A LITTLE BIT PERTURBED

They revolted!  No, I didn't say they were revolting, I said they revolted, just a tad.

"And don't forget the beret and red eyeglasses. It will be never ending if we don't speak up!  I don't even need eyeglasses!" 

First squirrel was frankly very happy not to be wearing anything today, even though he knew he would be next!  Ms. Dee, aka Woman with Camera, tried to tell him winter’s coming, but she didn't like the way he twitched his Bouffant Twitching Flitbrush at her.  A little bit too twitchy for her liking.

This is what started it all, the Anatomy of a Squirrel that was posted the other day.  It started her mind wandering, up in the clouds again.  "Oh, that's where she gets her ideas from", said the House Finch, as he looked up at the sky.  “That cloud does look a bit like a….???   I have no clue what that looks like.”

But they reached an understanding and everything was settled as she realized Mr. Squirrel, and all the other squirrels, should be allowed to retain their dignity. No more changing the names of cute, fluffy tails, no more knitted things, no more getting the dye pot out, no more getting weighed down with heavy jewelry, nor being expected to wear red eyeglasses or berets, even if they did look darned cute!  They countered they could barely climb up the first ledge of the feeding table and wouldn't be able to climb the tree back to their nests. 

There was a request for more nuts and seeds in recompense, but Woman with Camera answered a quick and snippy "Oh no, no, no, no, no, no! You are getting enough as it is!" Well, they couldn't help themselves, but she was wise to them and that was a bridge too far even for her.  

The Man with Camera told her no more 100 lb. bags of birdseed either. That was very much a bridge too far for him as he could barely carry them home.  

An added note: no, no, no, no, no, there have never been 100 lb. bags of birdseed anywhere near this house. It may have been suggested at one time, on the premise that the more you buy the less it costs, and The Man did enjoy shopping at CostCo!  But that didn't work either.  However, the look Woman with Camera got said she was “way too far over that bridge already, just look at those squirrels!” He told her the Bouffant Twitching Flitbrushes were spoiled enough and even they were revolting.

Sentence of the Day:

"A bridge too far!"

A step or act that is regarded as being too drastic to take, as in "Dressing squirrels in sweaters, plus berets and cute red eyeglasses, dying hair and making them wear heavy jewels would be a bridge too far".  On the edge of throwing their tiny paws up in disgust, they told Woman with Camera, “Nuh-uh, enough is enough!"

Thankfully, all is once again calm in Squirrelville.  So ends the bouffant twitching flitbrush tale for today.

Have a great weekend Everyone, 

and thanks for stopping by.  

The squirrels and I appreciate your support.
