I could appreciate them if they could just run right across the road rather than back and forth in the middle of it....

The gray ones make for a good meal. Those red ones are obnoxious in the woods, making a lot of noise because they know they're not worth the price of a bullet.
 
My woman every day throws peanuts out on the deck for the squirrels. I give her a hard time because she always forgets to lock the door.

sometimes groundhogs or raccoons make it to the deck first and get the peanuts, but 90% of the time, it's squirrels or chipmunks.

Fun fact: a campground in Yosemite had to be shut down after people caught bubonic plague from being around squirrels and/or chipmunks. Your pets can also get it and spread it to you.

Yeah it's fun to feed them. This is the same one in the pic I posted.



Was surprisingly fairly easy to tame, it usually takes several days before they actually come to your hand but had him coming to my hand in a few hours. This was a provincial park though so they're probably a bit more used to people.

I'd love to live in an actual cottagy area and see them every day. If you get them tame enough they're practically like pets.
 
I've got a ~275 year old oak in my yard(the vulture tree), and it's loaded with squirrel. I don't fool with them, but I enjoy watching them run around.

This guy hangs out in my back yard and teases my cats. Oh, yeah, the cats appreciate the heck out of him.
 
our squirrel is amazingly still alive. i can never get a good picture of him anymore though. but he's much fatter now from the figs.
