Spring...Squirrel?

My kids love Curious George...they love the squirrel friend, Jumpy Squirrel.

So two days ago, we were eating lunch and the kids say, "Momma, it's Jumpy" and lo and behold...guess who's scampering along the wall.

Now living where I do, this is NOT a usual occurrence. I have never seen a squirrel in my neck of the desert...and quite frankly, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if a coyote ate him for lunch shortly after this pic was taken. :)
