There's nothing quite as healing and restorative than nature. Last summer, when my wife was very ill and in a wheelchair, I would wheel her down to the neighborhood park. We'd spend hours feeding the squirrels. It got to the point where they recognized us and would eat from our hands. We began to realize each had their own unique personalities and were much brighter than we thought. All we had to do was whistle and dozens would come down out of the trees towards us. That was a magical summer, what turned out to be our last in the city.
A lovely video Eric, and just evidence of what I am always saying about nature. Squirrels are intelligent, and they know those that do not present a danger to them. Food is always a great substance to draw the residents of nature. We hope that your wife is much better now.
We named this lady "Squirry", and she lived in one of our garden trees at our old house. As soon as we got home, she would jump on our car's roof to wait for my wife to get out. Then she would jump over onto my wife to search in her pocket where she always had nuts. We did not tame her, as we believe that wildlife belongs to the wild.
Thank you! She's walking on her own now but still recovering. Travel will probably still be out of the question for a while yet. That Covid sure did reek havoc in ways we're still learning about.
That's amazing that the squirrel in your garden was so comfortable with you wife. I feel bad for those people who haven't experienced that kind of bond with nature. It makes your life exponentially better to feel and understand how all living things are connected. We found the channel below a few months ago and I think you and your wife might enjoy it. : )

Shame man, Covid also tried it's best to get me, but the strange thing is that although I tested positive, my wife tested negative. So I only had a bit of it. Glad that your wife is recovering.
The sad thing is that after we moved out, the new owner had all of the trees in the garden cut down, and we can only hope and pray that squirry found a new home. So many people ignore nature, and they really don't know what they are missing. Nature is a fee gift to all of us, but some just don't care. Such is life my friend.
That chipmunk is a real little blessing.

Thank you! I managed to dodge it as well the last time it made its way around our inner circle. I think the strains now are much more tame than those first few from 2019-2020. The delta variant seems to be the one that caused people the most problems.
That's sad about the trees. I'm glad nature is so resilient. We've been back to the city park where we fed the squirrels last summer several time and all the squirrels seem to be gone. We're not sure if the city stepped in and had them live-trapped and moved or if some sort of disease swept through.
We love this channel. I think the wildlife has gotten used to this couple over many years.
Great that you managed to dodge it, and I think that the rushed vaccinations caused many serious issues. Some of our friends have what they call "long covid", and they really struggle with it.
Thousands of oak trees were cut down, and we still cannot get used to the views. Imagine a double lane of of old oak trees alive with birds and even owls, now all gone as if it never existed. Sad indeed!
Someone has to know what happened about the squirrels, as over here it is very difficult to remove them,
Yes, it takes time for wild animals to become hand fed, but patience is always rewarded,

Thanks. Yes, I was pro-vaccine when it all began but after learning more about them (and my own personal experience) I would never take another Covid vaccine. I took a round of Nattokinase when I learned I had developed a heart murmur post Covid/jabs and that helped clear out the spike proteins from the virus/vaccines to lessen the long term issues. My wife, unfortunately, can't use Nattokinase because of her health issues.
What a shame all those trees were cut down! That's horrendous. Oaks take so long to grow too. I've asked on local social media pages and no one seems to know what happened to the squirrels. There were accounts of homeless people killing them for food in other parts of the city but I don't know if that's what happened or not. I like to tell myself they were live-trapped and relocated. There were 20-30 of them that disappeared.
You were very smart to take the Nattokinase, and I don't know anything about it. But will ask Mrs Google. A pity that your wife could not also take it, as it sounds like a good thing to take. I had the vaccine, and a booster, but then we also heard about the complications of the vaccines, and I stopped going for the other boosters.
Oh yeah, the lost oaks are a real heartache. I sense a cover up about the disappearance of the squirrels, as it just doesn't make any sense. Homeless persons might have caught a few, but squirrels are clever, and they will avoid them. Strange that all of them has just suddenly disappeared.
