I can’t think why I’d been baking when we were camping at the San Clemente State Park on the beautiful southern California coast just south of Los Angeles but the scent of ginger had caught the attention of the local residents.
Where is that delicious smell coming from?

Your recent squirrel posts could even make me like these pesky creatures! Until the ground thaws and they start digging up my bulbs again…

They are pests aren’t’ they? They are only cute viewed from a distance. One of them gnawed through a wire on a campsite where we were staying in Florida and the transformer blew up! https://whichwaynow101.wordpress.com/2013/12/02/exploding-pythons/

That was so cute and now I am hungry for ginger biscuits as well, if they are anything like gingersnaps. 🙂

Very similar but not so hard. And tastier of course as they are not store bought. That’s what the squirrels thought.

My gingersnaps are never store-bought either, not that I make many cookies these days.

Best to give them up altogether. Cookies are for kiddies. I’m trying to take delight in a lettuce leaf these days.

Ha! – Cute:) Camping one time and a bird swooped down and stole a pancake to share with the birds and squirrels – pretty funny!

We were having lunch in Florida and a bird stole a French fry as my sister-in-law was eating. It was halfway from her plate to her mouth. She yelled. We threw our hats. She was not amused. 😯

These little guys have serious sniffers. I have had one inside my back pack at a climbing crag. He was after my trail mix. Not sure who got a bigger surprise upon our meeting. 🙂

I don’t think I would have liked that one bit! What did you do? Scream? Drop your pack? Sit down and have a little repast together?
LikeLike
There was definitely screaming…I think it was me and not the squirrel. He high tailed it out in a hurry. The funny thing is that not ten minutes later the little brat was back sniffing at my pack again. Relentless rodent! 🙂

Squirrels are devilish little thieves. I once put a freshly baked pie outside to cool. Some time later when I went back to retrieve it, I found its entire outer rim had been methodically nibbled off. It had never occurred to me that a squirrel would like pie – Husband was not amused 🙂

They don’t take much encouragement. We fed them peanuts when we were camped in WA but commented that we would never have done that if we’d been at home. I hope the permanent residents aren’t still cursing us!

This editing is not easy… I send chapters to the Editor as I finish them and she sends them back faster than I can keep up… but she is brilliant and the returned portions are just “out of this world” good… but when one is seeing double and then it becomes treble, it is time to have a look at something else…
