Squirrels

Have you ever watched a squirrel ferret out food and eat it? When I sit at The Beveland, in Tigard OR., and watch them it is interesting how it is similar to looking for our next opportunity.

As the squirrel searches and looks for the seeds they poke around everywhere. They know the general vicinity where the food is but it isn't always in a plate or dish for them. Then they pick it up and eat it. Sometimes they find they have a piece of bark dust and once they realize this they spit it out.

You do the same thing as your search and hopefully when you find a piece of bark dust you spit it out and move on. If you don't you could wind up with splinters where you don't want them.
