A Halloween cobweb that had blown loose from someone's yard. It was headed right for my head with pure, evil intent.

and..............

A black squirrel!

Ah see, black squirrels are more unlucky than black cats it seems. Giving cats a bad name all these years.

They're rats all right. Rats with bushy tails. But they sure do taste good!

We have lots of Black Locust trees around my house and most of our tree rats are the black variety.

I really don't like 'em and if one were in my path, well one less in this world to eat/dump all the birdseed is not gonna make me cry.

I saw a solid white squirrel when I was riding through my friend's
neighborhood the other day, first time I've EVER seen one here in
my whole life! It was cool. I think it was maybe just albino.

I don't see to many wild animals in my neighborhood. If I saw a black squirrel i'm pretty sure i would be kinda excited

Except if I had a to dodge one.

The only animals aside from the house variety I've seen while scooting so far is a cute family of racoons.

Actually the black squirrels are a dime a dozen around here. They routinely terrorize the native gray squirrels.

Squirrels have factions? Or are those just a band of pirate squirrels. I would say ninjas, but you actually saw them, so that's unpossible.

If we're talking about small furry creatures, shouldn't it be opossum-able?

There must have been some kinda black squirell genetics lab in the greater Holland area, grew up in Michigan my whole life and never seen one until we moved to Holland for a few years-havn't seen one since, hmmmmmmmm?

maybe it the tulips?
