Squirrels and Shoes

The weather is nice and the squirrels are looking for the nuts they buried last fall. Of course they have no idea where they left them, so they have to try everywhere around the yard.:

Even in places where there probably are no nuts at all, like the empty planter I have been using for a dirt mixing bowl.

I also got in an order of shoes from Eva's Dolls on Ebay, where I was able to find some reasonable booties for Granado calves--these are short boots. The straps and chain around the ankle come off entirely and hook back on with a lobster claw on the buckle, which I thought was clever. Aldwood now has actual shoes to wear.
