As I drew the first sip of coffee to my lips this morning, one of our daughters said, “Look Mom, they’re fighting!”

I spun around in my desk chair to spy two squirrels chasing each other on the bare dogwood outside of our living room window. I smiled. Then one of the squirrels mounted the other.

“Doh!” I cried as I jumped up and ran over to draw the blinds, spilling coffee as I went. “Avert your eyes, children! Avert your eyes!”

Yeah, that got a good laugh out of the family this morning – he types with wet pajama pants.
