This is Miette. (pronounced 'me-ette' We named her.) It's French for small, sweet thing. She is a totally wild squirrel that likes to visit our tree right outside our front door. Rob kept feeding her by putting nuts on the tree branch every day until one day, she actually took an almond right out of his hand! I was totally impressed with that! She seems to know us now and totally trusts Rob. She comes right to him most of the time.You can imagine my surprise when I walked out with a Brazil nut one day and held it up for her, -- and she actually took it!! Woohoo!! Can't imagine my pure delight!! What a joy! She is so sweet! What a cutie!! I'll try to get a better pic of her soon.
I know it's really blurry and hard to tell what this is, but it's Miette taking the Brazil nut from MY hand!! She's so quick that it's hard to catch her actually being still! You can bet that I feel lucky! Hopefully more good memories in the future!
