I was sitting on the grass in our backyard on this beautiful, sunny San Diego late December day picking weeds from around some of our milkweed plants when I was unexpectedly joined by a brave little squirrel who was hungry for some of the weeds we have growing in the grass. He does us a huge favor eating those. He was munching away not five feet from me. Occasionally we would steal longing glances at each other. I unfortunately didn’t have my camera with me to capture the moment we shared together so hopefully this graphic will suffice.
