We have a lot of grey squirrels which, while cute, are considered to be vermin. The red squirrels are rarely seen, but are a real treat when you do see them :-) JoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-28428113515493572712011-03-09T12:06:27.883-06:002011-03-09T12:06:27.883-06:00I'm so glad Far Guy is feeling better.

We have managed to miss the flu here this year without the shots. Though often I contemplate getting one, helpful because of the asthma I suppose, but I seem to contemplate clear up to the end of flu season. Going all the way in to town is not my idea of a fun thing to do. But I know, getting the flu would be even less fun. Gambles, gambles all around. I sure hope you miss out on the flu.Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018584509455303394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-36405231502196482392011-03-07T12:56:55.974-06:002011-03-07T12:56:55.974-06:00Glad FarGuy is feeling better.
