#squirrels
A piece I did for a tech company blog post about team input, which was really just a thinly-veiled excuse to draw squirrels plotting a bird feeder heist.

Got my first squirrel in my feeder for the year! Look at that bushy tail!
I added a cute cat shaped feeder this year but I can’t see it from my office.

Volunteering is going so well! I’m two weeks in and have already held and snuggled different species, ages, and personalities lol!
Some are really good eaters and others aren’t as interested which of course makes things tough, and I suppose that’s good because it forces me to work on my patience ;). I’ve already indirectly experienced loss which stinks, two weeks ago a baby squirrel was brought in, he was only a week old maybe two, and he’d been attacked by a crow. It was super sad cause he was so little his eyes weren’t even open yet, and he had a bloody little nose from the attack :(. We fed him and got him to eat that night, but next week when I came in… he wasn’t there :(. I know it’ll happen, I’m just not looking forward to the day I open one of the squirrel baskets and find one has passed :(.
Aside from that inevitability, I really really love what I’m doing and how I’m helping! It’s a fun crew too - a few women my age and a few the generation above me. Apparently in late May there’s a slow season so they have a mid season party that involves lots of wine and sarcasm, which is something I am SERIOUSLY looking forward to! It all takes place at one of the women’s homes that had a huge deck we all hang out on and shoot the shit.
So happy I pushed myself out of my social comfort zone and did this :). It’s the first thing I’ve done for ME in a lonnnnng time.
