This was a recent facebook entry I made. Someone suggested I enter it into my www.cabin-muse.blogspot.com blog, so here it is. I'll simply entitle it "Winter Invasion".
The first thing on my mind is thanking everyone for the many birthday wishes received. I will endeavor to thank each of you individually and hope too many months will not pass before I have the chance to do so.
The next thing on my mind occurred during a recent visit up to the log cabin. Since we don't have time to run up too often in the extremes of winter, we shoot up occasionally to check on things. On a recent checkup, my faithful warden and overseer, Dolores, happened to check the old wood burner and reported something unusual was occupying the firebox. Upon examination I discovered two gray squirrels cozily wrapped around one another in a deep slumber, prompted by the relatively warm cabin air. When I attempted to evict the trespassers, I can only descrbe their response as "an explosion" as they rocketed up the chimney and out into the brisk winter air. I closed the draft and within a few minutes the crafty devils had re-entered the chimney and were now reclining atop the draft, having refused to give up the handy heat source. I will check later to monitor their abode.
