Pumpkin Spice & Squirrels!

Capturing a squirrel in the wild is a fool's errand that usually results in personal injury, profound public embarrassment, and a deep respect for creatures that can change direction mid-air! Trying to catch one is like trying to grab a single soap bubble in a hurricane. Visualising the creeping forward, breathless, in a bid to offering a solitary peanut like a peace treaty. The squirrel freezes, it stares into your soul with beady, judgmental eyes. One takes a microscopic step, and zip, it has broken the sound barrier, scaled a vertical brick wall, and is now barking insults at you from a branch forty feet in the air. One is left standing in a bush, holding a single peanut, questioning one's life choices.
