Winter Job

December 16, 2009.

Trimming and cutting down trees are winter job. That's what we have done this week. The oak tree in front of the house gets a severe trimming job to get rid of the mistletoes. One dead oak tree on the road side has to go down.




Four baby flying squirrels were captured. They were found inside the hollow part of the dead oak tree by the road. Mama Squirrel and the rest of the family managed to escape. We'll keep these babies until they are stronger and ready to be released if they want to. According to the tree man, they make good pets and would stay on your shoulder no matter where you go if you let them. They are sure cute, though.
