The latest critter

Oh so THIS is what's been driving Moxie and Simon crazy out on the back deck lately (you'll want to click on the following pic for the larger version on this one - it's cute!):


Such a TINY little critter... I'm not sure why it's coming up on the deck - there's plenty of spilled birdseed down on the ground it could be eating. It can't get into the tightly sealed tub of birdseed NOR the tightly sealed container for stuff to run to the compost pile (trust me, *I* have a hard time getting in them!) that are up on the deck. Maybe he's just up for shelter from the cold weather? Brett said he saw it digging around in the hosta roots I have potted out on the deck, waiting for them to sprout. He BETTER not be eating my hostas! Anyhow, Moxie sits at that backdoor for HOURS sometimes, watching and waiting for him to make a move...
