We met Mr. Peepers last week when he found our bird feeder. To our surprise he didn't have much of an interest (yet) in jumping up to the bird feeder and choosing his own meal. He was quite content to rummage through the leftovers on the ground. While we watched him eat and bury his findings, we decided his name must be Mr. Peepers because of his funny exagerated antics when he eats (like the SNL skit). He looked up at us in the window a few times, but didn't mind us watching him either.
And then we came up onto our steps and flattened out on his belly, presumably to cool off (our steps were in the shade). Although the second picture makes him look a little nervous, he was very relaxed and hung around for quite a while. Maybe we are too easiliy amused, but we enjoyed our first meeting with Mr. Peepers.
...now how do we make sure he doesn't get any more ideas about the birdfeeder? :)
You may ask where we found such an important piece of musical history. Well, like Indian Jones, we searched far and wide, battled countless enemies, and fought our way through some treacherous terrain until we found the legendary Bag of Peanut M&M's. Mom was the lucky recipient of this priceless artifact as she was the winner of the game of Balderdash we were playing at the time of the discovery. We can't wait until next year to see what piece of history we'll uncover next.
Mmmmmm... one of the best things about camping - the food!! Everything tastes better when you're camping.
