The squirrels are out there running around and looking for the peanuts the jays haven't found. What really caught my attention was when I say a squirrel pick up a piece of outer leaf bok choy I had thrown out there and started eating it. ???!!!!! Of course I had to look it up and little did I know that after reading a North American Nature article they actually like and "prefer bok choy, broccoli, arugula, red or green cabbage, chayote, cauliflower, purslane, watercress, and mushrooms." Who knew?! Now I know where all my outer leaves will go and make a squirrel happy to boot.

Well learn something new! I used to have a resident groundhog, named Manuel, who loved broccoli stems best of all.
