7/9/15 Squirrels, Helping People Connect One Smile at a Time ;)

This morning, two young boys and I shared a moment. Prior to the incident, they had been walking briskly towards my general direction as I walked towards theirs. I was headed to the subway station to make my train connection to work. And as it was a weekday during summer in my neck of the woods, and rather too early for kids who didn’t have to be up and about, to be up and about, it seemed to me that they were likely headed to summer school or summer camp and were concerned about getting to their destination on time. Suddenly, a movement amongst a huge pile of trash bags on the sidewalk in front of us, startled us all into stopping. Like a jack in the box, a grey colored squirrel popped up from the pile, carrying in between its teeth, a large French baguette. The squirrel then made its way under a nearby car before settling down to enjoy its bread feast. I say, “Feast” because, I kid you not, that French baguette was almost as long as the squirrel itself! Making eye contact with one of the boys, we shared a laugh smile emoticon With such a fortuitous start like that to its day, who knows what other awesome adventures that squirrel has coming its way? wink emoticon
