Garage Sale & Squirrels

We had a free Saturday morning, so decided to surprise our daughter Deb by going to her garage sale – about an hour from our house.  This was a four-family sale.

Our granddaughters Elizabeth (left) and Abigail (right) are at our house this weekend, and we thought it would be a fun way for them to see Deb.

The girls came here from Maine to attend the wedding of a friend – which was Friday evening.

Deb is known in the neighborhood for being able to to keep stranded baby squirrels alive. 

This time it is two brothers.  A neighbor brought them to her after hearing them crying and squealing.  It appears their mother was killed on the road.

They were a great attraction at the garage sale, and many of the children wanted to touch them.

Deb named them Rocky and Acorn.

Feeding time.

Deb got them about a week ago – when their eyes were just beginning to open, so she thinks they are about three weeks old. 

She’ll release them when they can take care of themselves.
