How do you know that summer has come to the Nikiverse? Chipmunks! Not these
these!
As i was leaving my house to go to Colleen's (
by way of my office) I had my first chipmunk sighting! I freaking love chipmunks. They seem so industrious and purposeful, but not in a boring worker-bee way; they've got stuff to do and places to be, but they seem joyful to me. They run like every moment is precious to them and must not be wasted (
or like they know there is a hawk living next door). Have you ever seen anything so fast? Plus they can turn on a dime and run with their wee tail straight up in the air. They crack me up.
I only ever see one at a time around my house and then only in the summer. Therefore, just like
goats mean spring, chipmunks mean summer.
I wanted to get a picture, but have YOU ever tried to photograph a chipmunk? Wow - they're fast. I stalked Mr Chipmunk for a while and managed to snap this Sasquatch-esque pic to prove that it is indeed summer in Catonsville.

My observations are less suggestive that the chipmunks have a sense of purpose, and more suggestive that they're stoned out of their tiny little minds on cocaine.

That would explain the speed with which they move; but, you know i like to take the optimistic view.
I actually never saw my first chipmunk until the first time David took me to Lookout Mountain to "meet the folks."
