aimeekittyI had some unexpected free time and so I went to Huntington. Despite the "do not feed the squirrel" signs, there are very very fat brave squirrels. There was this one that was not afraid of me at all! I followed him within a foot behind for a while... while he waddled along.
and then suddenly he stopped, stared at me, and flattened himself spread-eagle. and stared. I have no idea, but it made me laugh so hard!
Here he is!

I had lunch with Mitch, and then tonight we're going to go to one of our favorite restaurants. What a nice day! I also for the first time tried amanatto! (sugar-covered beans) WOW YUM! I'd had other kinds of weird sweet beans in Japan and loved them (but they were different and I didn't know what they were). I'm having fun finding out more about japanese sweets. I've been working more lately on my Japan book. I'd show you, but then I'd have to kill you! I hope all this work on it pays off!

Date: 2006-07-15 02:14 am (UTC)We have a few squirrels that come to our yard for snacks (we are very liberal with the peanuts :), and I have seen a couple do this on our flagstone patio.
I'm not sure if they do this to try to hide (I'm soooo flat you can't seeee me) or to get cool.

BTW, I just wanted to tell you that I loved your illustrations for the BJD Orbyrarium book -- it's displayed as the backdrop to my dollyshelf at the moment ^-^
