The visitor

I was going to photograph yet another pair of earrings for Tiny Tuesday when this little squirrel appeared on the fountain and let me take his photo from the dining room window.  Actually there were two squirrels darting across the patio but squirrel #2 evaded my camera.
Mr MC picked up Violet from school alone this afternoon as I have the most dreadful cold.  My throat was a bit sore on Sunday but not enough to stop me enjoying the Birthday Dinner:  I'm so glad the symptoms didn't develop until Monday.
