The Peanut Runner
I was happily surprised to see a chipmunk at the side of the house Sunday afternoon. I thought perhaps they were already hibernaing. The temperature was in the 30's and we'd had a wintry mix the night before. I immediately took the little chippy some peanuts. It wouldn't come right up to me, but it made one peanut run after another. I was delighted to just watch and take photos as it repeatedly stuffed a peanut in each cheek, held one in its mouth, dashed off to its den, and then returned to do it all over again.
