The little guy was busy all morning burying nuts.
Even Robbie the Cape Robin-chat bird behind him was surprised to see this.
At first I thought that the squirrel was ill, as this has never happened before in one of our pot plants. But as usual I decided to wait and to see what happens.
Definitely not an ordinary sight as I have seen the squirrels napping high in the trees, but he must have felt very secure to nap on the ground.
Come and follow the story.
He had a nut and was on his way to plant it.
Jumped into the second pot and planted the nut. You can see the long little plants in the pots that are peanut plants previously planted by the squirrels.
Planting done and now to fetch the next nut.
On his way back and Robbie arrived at the back, as he must have noticed something that I didn't know.
But no, change of mind and Robbie kept on watching.
Back into the front pot and look at that quizzical tilt of Robbie's head at the back.
And finally taking a quick nap. I bet that Robbie knew that something like this was going to happen.
So yes, I waited to see what would happen and the little young squirrel laid like that for a few minutes. Had he kept on napping I would have gone to stir him up, but there were no cats around. Just so amazed to see this as it was totally out of character. Maybe he laid down in the pot to make sure that his smell will tell the other squirrels that the pots belonged to him. But not to worry, as soon he was up and at it again.
We were just happy that he was not ill.
Here he is alive and well, wishing all of you a Happy Friday!
We also wish everyone a Happy Friday and may everyone have a great weekend.
Hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and the story.
And That's All Friends.

Oh, that looks so very cute, Zac, I have never seen a Squirrel sleeping before, and I am sure most of us haven't 😴

Thank you Hannes and we were thrilled to see it. It shows how comfortable they are in our garden and thankfully that little squirrel doesn't have a boss, as he will be fired for sleeping on the job 🤣🤣🤣
I am glad that I could show it to all in order to get a smile 😊
Cheers and thanks.
It shows that the animals around you trust you and feel as safe as in their nest. I think that means a lot, my friend 😊
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)
!invest_vote
Thank you for the kind words my friend, but I just think that he was very tired 😊
Cheers and thanks.
Still I find it unusual that he just laid down and didn't search a shelter.
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Very unusual and he hasn't done it again so I don't know what made him to decide to lay down for a while. I think that it was the heat.
Just like you feel when you sit and sleep in your office chair. A rare occurrence of course 🤣 !LOLZ
Cheers and thanks.
It was the heat and that he knew he can trust that you will not let any enemy get near him 😄
Haha, sleeping in the office, that's a good one 🤣 !LOLZ

Did the heat get to him or the hard work, perhaps the soil smelled so good it was time for a quick nap!
Seldom see squirrels, he is gorgeous when he is asleep !LUV this photography story.

I think it was all three plus his determination to mark that pot as his own. He is the smallest and the cutest of the lot and not scared to take a nut out of my hand.
Glad that you liked it Lady Joan.
!LUV
Very much at home, perhaps new napping spot on busy days feeling safe.
Right now at this late hour he is sitting eating here below my window.
Light is bad but I took this on the flash to show you.
On the window sill and then he jumps down to eat it.
Definitely cannot leave windows or door open or invasion will happen, where are the nuts...!
Hahaha, I am busy putting up screens. Done one window as a test and it's good. Now for the doors and then a few other windows.
We added screen netting to trellis gates to keep the monkeys out 😁

beautifully
Because this is such an awesome post, here is a BBH Tip for you.
. Keep up the fantastic work
that squirrel is so cute! now I wish I can also take a photo of the squirrel that is running around the tree at the back of our house :D
Thank you and if you put some peanuts down at the base of the tree every day, the squirrel will come and pose for a photo at the nuts :)
Ohhh so that's the technique. Ok will try to do that. Thanks for the tip 😉
My pleasure and have some !PIZZA
