Day 453: Mr. Chippy

The chipmunk reappeared today!  Scampering through the muddy garden, it searched for seed left by the doves and turkeys then ran up the tree to check out the feeders.  Molly hasn't targeted them yet because it's too cold for her to go outside.

We are free now for a whole week!  We finished the backpacking class this afternoon and a huge weight lifted.  Even though there is still work on stage and we are one month from the one day hike, for this week there will be no school, no students and no responsibilities!
