Spring

This morning I look out the kitchen window and see Freida on the picnic table, just like old times. She appears to be eating the seeds from a dandelion head. Chipmonks hibernate in the winter months, typically underground in borrows that can be 100 feet long, storing a small stash of food for when they wake up in the spring.
I shot this photo through the kitchen window, with a digital zoom. So sweet to see her, I take it as a good sign.
