Another Monday

                  (not my squirrel)

I try and start Monday out with a positive post — something I can mull over and turn around and digest quickly, absorbing all there is of it, then spit it out and move on with the week.

I am sitting on my sofa facing the front window, looking out at a squirrel trying to get to my round bird feeder that’s stuck out three feet at the end of an aluminum pole on the deck railing.

Obviously the feeder is perched in this fashion to keep the squirrels out.

Obviously this squirrel thinks this intent is for everyone else but him.  

Slinking out on a thin aluminum pole, holding onto the top and hanging chain for dear life, stretching downwards around the saucer-like lid to the saucer below is a death-defying act of courage. Or hunger.

Nevermind that I also dump a scoop of seed out on the ground right below the feeder every day for the ground creatures …

Sometimes his determination (and dexterity) pay off — other times not.

Which made me wonder: Which quote would better suit him (and the world) on a day like today?

Never Give Up…Never Surrender (Galaxy Quest movie)

You’ve got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em (The Gambler, Kenny Rogers)

Alas, his quote of choice will have to wait for another day.

He opted for the seeds on the round table top instead.

  1. Smart squirrel! And you have one of my all-time favorite quotes there – Never Give Up…Never Surrender, Jason Nesmith, Galaxy Quest. 🙂 My family has heard me utter this ever since the movie came out. 🙂
