Mendy and Devin Parading for Leaps & Bounds - 2013 Metropolis Labor Day Parade

I can barely remember a time when I didn't know Mendywright - one of my oldest and dearest friends ... 

I was thrilled to see she and Devin come in to view... Parading for Leaps & Bounds, a fantastic children's consignment store in the "Old Sister Shop" - near Big John's on 5th street in Metropolis...

Meet Carl...

I was out on the Porcho the other afternoon ... which is the patio that borders the alley... and I heard a sound that was a bit of a scratch with a chomp thrown in here and there... I looked all about and finally spotted Carl... that's what I named him, Carl the Squirrel.  

I absolutely could have appointed him something more fantastic and creative than Carl, but for some reason.. in that instant, as I retrieved my camera and stepped back out onto the Porcho - Carl seemed to fit.  He was a laid back fellow, just sitting there as Shazbot and Sha Na Na meowed at him from below... 

Now about a week later, Carl is becoming a fixture and is on the alley nearly every time I got outside.  He's been busy this week it seems running back and forth with nuts that I assume he's storing at home, wherever that is ... most likely in one of our front trees... 

I was looking for a squirrel quote to wrap this up ... but I didn't find one that tickled my fancy ... so I'll leave you with some squirrel fun facts...

• Squirrels can jump a distance of up to 20 feet. They have long, muscular hind legs and short front legs that work together to aid in leaping.
• Squirrels in general are found on every continent except Antarctica and Australia.
• Squirrels can fall up to 100 feet without hurting themselves. They'll use their tail both for balance and as a parachute.
• Squirrels eyes are positioned in such a way that they can see some things behind them.
• The word "squirrel" means "shadow tail" in Greek.
• An adult squirrel normally lives alone. But will, in severe cold, share its nest with other squirrels to conserve body heat. Once the temperature rises, the guests will be on their way.
