Day 15

Well Barmy is a happy Beaversquirrel this morning as he can now camouflage on a tree branch! He's not turned white yet which means that if you look carefully along branches you may just spot him hiding. Preferably before Jane gives him paws to knock snow onto your head!!

TIAS Day 14

I must say that that TOG down south really does have peeps guessing this year! Ooh she's a sneaky one I must say!! Forgot to post yesterday, and we've snow here, so.... Barmy refused to change colour, although I have a sneaky feeling he will as soon as it melts!! LOL. Anyway, here's what he looks like at the end of Day 14.... still in his autumn colouring....

Day 13

 Afternoon All

We are currently experiencing icy wind chill and snow flurries that don't seem to want to lay except for on the hill at the back in the distance.  Had to go shopping this morning and drop an old phone off to a friend that's just moved into her first house!!  The phone line is connected but not the internet yet, so we gifted a phone so she isn't quite so isolated (the village has no real mobile phone signal).

Came home to find that Jane had put Day 13 on her blog!  So, I went and looked.... Barmy now has a head and had a quick look out of the window, as it's not snowy landscape out there he's still in his autumn colours!!

Want to see???

Day 12

 Well, we've reached day 12 in the TIAS.  Do we have a second eye?? Methinks so!!  

Barmy is now saying to us..... "All the better to see you with My dear"!  If you think of the fairy tales is it Granny in the cupboard and a wolf in a beaversquirrel coat??  Is that what they're trying to tell us??

Maybe, or maybe not.  We shall just have to wait and see.... 

And Now

I'm caught up with the TIAS!

After Barmy was caught curled up dozing he stretched out on the cat! (That was yesterdays post....)

Then that TOG down south decided he should be able to sniff for the slim chance he can change colour this winter! The powers that be are telling us we will get snow this coming weekend.... We'll wait and see!  

And here you can clearly see he's got an eye on what she's up to next!! One can never second guess what's going on in the mind of BC3!

I see from the blog that others think it may be an EFUS (Julibeth) or a fox, ermine or even a giraffe or dinosaur. I am jus' sayin'.... It's Barmy Bonkers the Beaversquirrel!  Maybe we'll get the EFUS next year!!! ROFL

Day 8

Yes, I know it's VERY late.... However, my phone decided that it didn't want to charge! Had to use a very old phone for calls!

Young Sir rose to the calamity and has sent his old phone for me and Sir to use as Sirs has a busted screen. As his is still charging I've managed to get the use of it first! So, here's where I left Barmy the Beaversquirrel. Now why does that TOG 'down south' think he should be asleep or hibernating? I've already explained (I think) that Beaversquirrels don't hibernate. They pinch birdfood when it's hung in trees (mainly the nuts in bags) and throw snowballs when it's snowing!

Anyway, here he is curled up asleep!

And....

 The latest picture of the evolving of Barmy Bonkers the Beaversquirrel involves the error in the ways of a TOG 'somewhere down south'.  This particular TOG did spot that an error had been made on the pattern, and it was corrected.  Well, it was spotted after someone pointed it out, and it wasn't me!!  I spotted it but others had got there before me!!

Anyway, he's been photographed and is definitely looking forward to the next bit of the pattern!!  Beaversquirrels are shy by nature, and don't come into full view most of the time.  You may spot one in the Autumn (Fall) when they can be seen very occasionally on the ground, but still spend most of their time hiding in branches where there are still a few leaves yet to fall.  As I said a few days ago they turn white in the winter when there's snow, and if it's raining we never look up to see if we can see them!  If it's frosty they're grey and can be mistaken for the Grey Squirrel that's so prevalent in England, but not in Scotland, where they may well turn red and be mistaken for the Red Squirrel.  In the spring they're wood coloured and look like tree branches because they sit very still near the trunk.  Then they are often mistaken for sleeping owls!!

Right, here's the latest picture!!
