Thanks to the damned squirrels, I've had the song "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" in my head ALL.DAY.LONG.

"Hippity-hoppity, Easter's on its way.."

Screech..... Huh? Easter is NOT on its way, and I'm sure you're wondering why I'm blaming this on the squirrels.

We've had a bit of a snow here and due to the cold temperatures, it doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon.


I've been watching the little tracks in the snow grow over the past few days and have been having fun trying to figure out what animal is making the various tracks.


Want to play along? Sure you do....

Look at the little hand prints in the snow. Those aren't from kids...


Now look at this- I've seen LOTS of these little tracks all over the yard. Looks like something took up skiing....


And finally, the explanation for the title of this post and the reason for the ear worm (you can thank me later...)


I thought these 'hoppy' looking tracks were from a bunny. I imagined cute little white bunnies hopping through the snow.

I thought wrong.

I was outside surveying the bird feeders (remember I take my job as feeder of all birds on the planet, very seriously) and saw a squirrel hopping through the snow, just like a little bunny. I started laughing at how absurd it looked.

And then came the ear worm. ALL.DAY.LONG.

Damned squirrels.
